Netbox Sync - Additional funactionality

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.

  1. 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)
  2. Additional filters for things like Device Types/Model Types
  3. 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.
