Danbyte models your IP space, hardware, cabling and power in one place, checks it against the live network, and feeds your automation. It is free and open source, and you host it yourself.
IP address management where the prefix hierarchy, free space and utilisation are calculated for you.
Network diagrams, site maps and floor plans that are drawn from the inventory, so they stay up to date.
Virtual machines are synced from the hypervisor and listed next to the hardware.
Availability targets measured from your monitoring history, with reports to send.
See for each device whether it is under support and whether its software is supported.
A source of truth that your pipelines read directly, with an API for everything.
Plan the work, schedule its maintenance window and check that it was done correctly.
Danbyte discovers the devices on your network and keeps them in one data model. Ansible, Terraform and signed webhooks read from that same model, so you do not have to maintain a spreadsheet next to it.
Install a small Danbyte Outpost at each site. It checks the local devices with ping and SNMP and connects out to your Danbyte server on port 443. Your server never has to open a connection into the site, so this also works behind NAT and in isolated or air-gapped networks.
Start a private Danbyte sandbox in about a minute. It comes with a four-site network with racks, cabling, floor plans and live monitoring, and it deletes itself after 30 minutes.
Danbyte is free and open source, and every feature is included. It runs on one server with Django, Postgres and Redis, and it also works in air-gapped networks.
Maps and floor plans
You can select an area on the site map and Danbyte creates a floor plan of it at true scale. The map is placed under the plan, and every building outline in the area becomes an area on the plan. A building that is 40 m long covers 40 cells of 1 m.
Works with the equipment you already have.
Danbyte documents it, polls it over SNMP and passes the data on to your tools.
