Nautobot App Livedata



An App for Nautobot.

Overview

The Nautobot App LiveData is providing real-time data from network devices that are supported by Netmiko.

At the moment, the app is supporting only interface specific data. The data is collected from the devices via platform specific show commands and will be presented in the interface's 'Life Data' tab.

This app addresses the need for dynamic and up-to-date network information, allowing network administrators and engineers to make informed decisions based on the latest data.
