Documentation

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
