Malcolm provides an instance of [NetBox](https://netbox.dev/), an open-source "solution for modeling and documenting modern networks." The NetBox web interface is available at at [https://localhost/assets/](https://localhost/assets/) if you are connecting locally.

The design of a potentially deeper integration between Malcolm and Netbox is a work in progress. The purpose of an asset management system is to document the intended state of a network: were Malcolm to actively and agressively populate NetBox with the live network state, a network configuration fault could result in an incorrect documented configuration. The Malcolm development team is investigating what data, if any, should automatically flow to NetBox based on traffic observed (enabled via the `NETBOX_CRON` [environment variable in `docker-compose.yml`](#DockerComposeYml)), and what NetBox inventory data could be used, if any, to enrich Malcolm's network traffic metadata.

Well-considered suggestions in this area [are welcome](mailto:[email protected]?subject=NetBox).

Please see the [NetBox page on GitHub](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox), its [documentation](https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/) and its [public demo](https://demo.netbox.dev/) for more information.
