Netbox Sync - Additional funactionality
1 vote
Hi,
I've just tried out the Netbox sync, which work pretty well but its missing some key features that would make it practical for us.
- Allow a filter to only add devices that have a management IP assigned to them in Netbox. At the moment its pulling in a ton of junk such as a 24 port patch panel and blanking plates I've put on our rack diagrams (you have to add them as devices)
- Additional filters for things like Device Types/Model Types
- It would be handy if we made a custom field in Netbox for 'session_type' and configure this to be rdp/ssh/https etc so RDM automatically pulls the correct session type. Potentially the same for template too. We have a mix of session types we need to provide. At the moment its trying to RDP to all my switches.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. I have opened an internal ticket for this and will see about adding this to a future roadmap. What I would like is for this to be able to make it into our next major version 2026.1, but we have a lot of other things planned at the moment.

Hello,
The following enhancements have been added to the NetBox synchronization based on your feedback:
- A filter option to import only devices that have a management IP assigned.
- Additional filters to limit the sync by device types.
- Support for a session_type custom field, allowing the session type to be defined directly in NetBox (for example: rdp, ssh, vnc, telnet, or website). During synchronization, RDM will automatically import the device using the corresponding session type.
These changes should be available in the upcoming version, which should be 2026.1.

hello @David Godin
Is it possible to import virtualMachines as well ? for now I see plenty of devices but I cannot see any VMS
Hello,
Yes, this should definitely be possible! NetBox has a separate endpoint for virtual machines that I can include with the existing sync functionality.
I'll look into adding support for this and will keep you posted.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello,
To add at the selection of device with a management IP, the choice to select the FQDN instead of the IP
If possible it would be great too i think
Hello @jzielona,
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll bring this up internally as part of the NetBox sync work.

Hello @David Godin / Devolutions Team,
I just wanted to add my vote for the NetBox Virtual Machine synchronization feature!
We rely heavily on a Proxmox infrastructure, so having our VMs automatically pulled into RDM alongside our physical devices would be a massive time-saver for our daily operations.
Fingers crossed that this endpoint integration makes it into the upcoming updates. Thanks for the great work!
Best regards,
Hello,
We’ve added support for syncing virtual machines from NetBox. This improvement will be available in version 2026.2.0.
Regarding the request to use FQDN instead of IP, this is most likely tied to custom fields or specific configurations in NetBox. To properly support this and avoid handling similar requests on a case-by-case basis, this will be addressed in a separate ticket focused on improving custom field support in the NetBox integration. This is not planned for the immediate term but remains under consideration.
Additionally, enabling both the “Management IP” option and the “Include virtual machines” option will not interfere with VM synchronization. Virtual machines typically do not have a management IP defined, so they will still be imported correctly.
Best regards,
David Godin
