Installation

Activate venv

To ensure our plugin is accessible to the NetBox installation, we first need to activate the Python virtual environment that was created when we installed NetBox. To do this, determine the virtual environment's path (this will be /opt/netbox/venv/ if you use the documentation's defaults) and activate it:

$ source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate

Install the package

$ python3 -m pip install netbox-contract

Configure NetBox

Finally, we need to configure NetBox to enable our new plugin. Over in the NetBox installation path, open netbox/netbox/configuration.py and look for the PLUGINS parameter; this should be an empty list. (If it's not yet defined, go ahead and create it.) Add the name of our plugin to this list:

# configuration.py
PLUGINS = [
    'netbox_contract',
]

Customize the plugin

The following configurationitems can be set:

# configuration.py
PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    'netbox_contract': {
        'top_level_menu': True,
        'default_accounting_dimensions':{
            "account": "", 
            "project": "", 
            "cost center": ""
        },
        'mandatory_contract_fields': ['accounting_dimensions'],
        'hidden_contract_fields': [],
        'mandatory_invoice_fields': ['accounting_dimensions'],
        'hidden_invoice_fields': [],
    }
}

• top_level_menu : If "Contracts" appears under the "Plugins" menu item or on its own
• default_accounting_dimensions: The accounting dimensions which will appear in the field' background when empty.
• mandatory_contract_fields, mandatory_invoice_fields: Fields which are not required by default and can be set as such. The list of fields is at the bottom of the contract import form.
• hidden_contract_fields, hidden_invoice_fields: List of fields to be hidden. Fields should not be required to be hidden.

Customize the plugin fields choices

Internal partie reference the legal entity of your organization that is a partie to the contract.

# configuration.py
FIELD_CHOICES = {
    'netbox_contract.Contract.internal_partie': (
        ('Nagravision SARL', 'Nagravision SARL', 'green'),
        ('Nagra USA', 'Nagra USA', 'green'),
        ('Nagra India', 'Nagra India', 'green'),
    ),
    'netbox_contract.Contract.currency': (
        ('usd', 'USD'),
        ('eur', 'EUR'),
        ('chf', 'CHF'),
        ('pln', 'PLN'),
    ),
    'netbox_contract.Contract.status': (
        ('Active', 'Active', 'green'),
        ('Cancled', 'Canceled', 'red'),
    )
}
