Network documentation you can trust

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.

Find free space and use it

The space map draws the child prefixes of a block to scale. You click a free block to create a subnet or register a single address there, and you do not have to calculate the subnet yourself.

Always calculated: When you add a child prefix, the free space of its parent is updated straight away.
Next available: You can ask Danbyte for the next free subnet or address and reserve it directly.
One search field: The same search field finds a prefix, an address, a DNS name or a MAC address in any notation.

The Map tab of a prefix. Free blocks are outlines and used blocks are filled, with one row for each prefix length.

Discover your network and feed your automation from it

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.

Outpost

Core

Monitor sites behind NAT or in isolated networks

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.

Two ways to run Danbyte

Try the demo

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.

Open the live demo

Host it yourself

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

Camera coverage and blind spots

The floor plan shows what each camera can see. A wall blocks the view and a door lets it through. This works in the 2D view, in the 3D view and in the PDF export.
