Every layer of your network, in one open model.
IP space, hardware, cabling, power, virtualization, planning, monitoring and automation — one source of truth, fully open source. No enterprise tier, nothing held back for the cloud.
Address space you can see, plan and trust.
Enter your prefixes once; Danbyte derives the rest. The containment tree, free space and utilization are computed from your data, per VRF — never hand-maintained.
Derived prefix tree
A live containment hierarchy per VRF — parent/child, free space and utilization all computed from your prefixes.
Space map
A visual map of any prefix; click a free block to carve the next subnet.
VLANs, groups & colors
Scope VLANs with groups and give each a color that follows it into every table, page and topology rail.
DHCP scopes & leases
Scopes, exclusions, reservations and live leases — synced from Windows over WinRM, or local Danbyte-managed pools.
DNS zones & name pages
Forward and reverse zones with drift review, plus a page for every DNS name and the records behind it.
VRFs & route targets
Full VRF support with import/export route targets and overlapping CIDRs.
Also: IP ranges · RIRs, aggregates & ASNs · FHRP groups · Service templates · Gateway autospawn · MAC tracking
Your racks and gear, drawn as real hardware.
Model the physical layer at true scale: millimetre-accurate rack elevations, device faceplates that light up with live link state, real front-panel photos and a full power model.
Link-state faceplates
Front and rear faceplates drawn at physical scale, ports coloured by live SNMP link state.
Rack elevations
mm-accurate elevations from 10" to 23", front and rear, showing each device by its real front-panel photo.
Faceplate-from-photo builder
Map ports onto a real front-panel photo, place a whole run in one pass, preview before committing.
Device catalog
A library of device types with images, ports and template components you instantiate per install.
Power model
Panels, feeds, ports and outlets with supply/demand and weight rollups.
Virtual chassis
Stack members into a virtual chassis with {position}-aware naming.
Also: Interfaces & LAGs · IP assignment · Object numbers · Printable cable labels
Trace any run end to end — through panels, PDUs and fibre.
Cabling is modelled as real infrastructure. Follow a circuit through patch panels and PDUs, trace fibre to the individual strand, and read it all on a topology you can send to a colleague by its URL.
Wiring
End-to-end cable tracing
Trace a run through patch panels and PDUs, from device port to far-end port.
Topology, four ways
Wiring, hierarchy, flat and logical views of the same network — shareable by URL, with saved layouts.
Fibre strands
Model fibre to the individual strand, TIA-598-C colour-coded and traceable end to end.
Floor plans
Spatial tiles showing utilization, monitoring status and camera fields of view.
Circuits & providers
Track carrier circuits and providers alongside your own infrastructure.
VPN & wireless
VPN tunnels with reusable IPSec profiles, and wireless SSIDs bridged to their VLANs.
Also: LC-duplex & MPO · Cable trays → pull sheet · Geographic site map
Your hypervisors, imported and kept honest.
Proxmox VE and VMware vCenter sources import VMs, disks, virtual switches, VLANs and the ESXi hosts underneath — placed at the right site, drawn as a network topology, and reconciled for drift.
Proxmox & vCenter sources
Sync in review mode to approve each change, or automatic to keep up.
VMs, disks & networks
Import guests with disks, virtual switches, port-groups, bridges and the VLANs behind them.
ESXi hosts as devices
Real hardware read over SOAP: manufacturer, model, serial and the ESXi version as a Platform.
Placement rules
Nearest wins, and a rule never invents or overwrites a site you already have.
Interface drift review
MAC, MTU or VLAN differences land in a review inbox as per-field diffs — accept theirs or keep yours.
SNMP for virtual machines
Virtual routers and VMs poll like devices, with an interface table and a dedicated SNMP tab.
Also: Per-source sync log · Proxmox platform names
Plan the work, then apply it as an audited record.
Kanban boards and tasks, a real scheduling calendar, carrier maintenance windows, and planned changes that carry your intent all the way to an applied, conflict-checked record.
Kanban boards & tasks
Columns you add inline; tasks with @mentions, assignment groups, due times and notifications.
Scheduling calendar
Week and day as an hour grid with a live now-line, month with ISO weeks, and an iCal feed out.
Planned changes
Edit in plan mode, capture the change as intent on a task, then apply with conflict detection.
Maintenance & outages
Carrier windows with impacts and an ETR, plus auto-silences that mute alerts for exactly the window.
Milestones & task links
Flag milestones on the board and calendar, and link a task to the devices, racks or IPs it changes.
Notifications
Personal email with per-kind opt-outs, a daily work digest, and an in-app bell.
Watch what's up. Reconcile what's really there.
Danbyte keeps your source of truth honest. Active checks tell you what's up; SNMP and nmap read reality into a separate observed layer you reconcile on your terms — even air-gapped.
Eight check types
Ping, TCP, HTTP and more, with per-check protocols.
SNMP observed-vs-intended
SNMP reads reality into a read-only observed layer beside your intended source of truth.
Drift inbox
Accept observed drift into your source of truth one item at a time.
nmap sweep
Sweep a prefix to discover what's really on it.
Prefix-inherited checks
Checks inherit down the prefix tree, so monitoring follows your plan.
Alert channels
Route alerts to Slack, Teams, Discord, PagerDuty and email.
Also: Silences · Runs fully air-gapped
Governance that stands up to an audit.
Access control, change history and compliance are columns in the data model, not add-ons. Every create, edit and delete is logged with a readable diff, and access is granted down to the row.
Automatic change log
Every create, edit and delete logged with a field-by-field diff, linked to the object.
Grant-based RBAC
Access control with row constraints and site scoping, granted rather than assumed.
Tenant + VRF isolation
Hard in-app isolation by Tenant and VRF for shared infrastructure.
MFA + LDAP / AD
Multi-factor authentication plus LDAP / Active Directory login.
Resizable dashboard grid
Drag widgets to move and resize on a real grid, saved per account with an admin default.
Compliance rules
Declarative rules with severity that flag records out of policy.
Also: Journals · Custom fields & groups · Tags · Public share links · CSV / XLSX / JSON import-export
The source of truth your automation already speaks.
Danbyte is a native Ansible and Terraform inventory source, renders config with Jinja, detects drift and pushes signed events — so your pipelines read straight from the model instead of a second copy.
Ansible & Terraform inventory
A native dynamic inventory source your pipelines read straight from.
Export templates (Jinja)
Render device config or any artifact from the model with Jinja.
Config contexts
Layered, mergeable config data resolved per device.
Config-drift runner
Diff intended vs deployed, then deploy, retry and remediate from the UI.
Signed webhooks
Outbound webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA512, on a visible jobs queue.
Scoped API & plugins
A REST API secured by scoped tokens, and a plugin-friendly codebase.
Every feature, in the open-source release.
Self-host it free, or let us run a private instance for you — the feature set is identical either way.
