DistInv

DistInv is a link between DistKV and your network infrastructure.

DistInv knows about hosts, ports, VLANs, (sub)networks, cables.

It stores

• which VLAN a network is in
• which network a host belongs to
• which port is plugged into what
• which groups a host belongs to
• where a host is located

This allows you to

• record which systems are where (surprisingly difficult …)
• auto-generate (part of) your Ansible inventory
• display which VLANs need to be configured on a switch port
• generate a network link path from A to B
• auto-update DNS entries when hosts are added, moved, or modified
