Problem
Network administrators face challenges in maintaining an accurate and up-to-date inventory of their network infrastructure due to the complexity and dynamic nature of modern networks. Manually collecting and organizing network data is time-consuming, error-prone, and often results in incomplete or outdated information. This lack of visibility hinders effective network management, security monitoring, and automation efforts.
Solution
Slurp'it provides a network discovery solution that automates the identification, collection, and structuring of network inventory data. By leveraging Google's TextFSM technology and a library of community-sourced templates, Slurp'it translates unstructured CLI output from network devices into structured JSON data. The platform offers a user-friendly interface for defining data collection plans, scheduling discovery tasks, and accessing historical network snapshots. With its REST API and integrations with tools like NetBox and Nautobot, Slurp'it enables network engineers to create a digital twin of their network inventory, streamline network automation workflows, and improve overall network visibility.
Target Audience
Slurp'it targets network engineers, IT managers, and DevOps professionals who need to automate network discovery, maintain accurate network inventory data, and integrate network information with other IT systems.
