Overview

Gain immediate, visual insight into inventory, lifecycle, and automation, all powered directly by your Nautobot data. Insights delivers prebuilt charts and reports helping engineers and leaders understand what’s happening in the network without building custom tooling.

Instead of stitching together reports or exporting data into external BI tools, teams can explore their environment directly within Nautobot using structured, up-to-date dashboards.

The Challenge

Modern network teams generate vast amounts of data, but struggle to turn that data into clear, actionable insight.

Inventory is distributed across systems. Lifecycle data is incomplete or outdated. Automation activity is difficult to measure beyond logs and job results. As a result, teams often rely on spreadsheets, ad hoc scripts, or external reporting tools to answer basic operational questions:

  • How many devices do we actually have, and where are they?
  • Which devices are approaching end-of-life or out of support?
  • Are our automation workflows succeeding, and where are they failing?

These gaps create friction across both engineering and leadership. Engineers lack visibility into operational trends. Leaders lack a reliable, real-time view of infrastructure health. And most importantly, teams cannot confidently scale automation without understanding its impact.

Traditional approaches fall short because they operate outside the system of record. They introduce delays, inconsistencies, and additional maintenance overhead.

Bottom line:
Lack of visibility is costing you time and control. If you cannot easily visualize your network data, you cannot effectively operate or scale your NetDevOps practices.

Solution

Insights is the built-in, structured solution for immediate network visualization. Nautobot data is automatically translated into intuitive, prebuilt dashboards across three core domains, eliminating the need for custom development or external BI tools.

Rather than requiring custom development or external tools, Insights organizes key operational data into intuitive dashboards across three core domains.

Inventory Visibility

Understand the composition and structure of your network at a glance.

  • High-level counts of devices, IP addresses, and objects
  • Device breakdowns by type, manufacturer, platform, and role
  • Visibility into ports, interfaces, and modules
  • Organizational views across locations, racks, and tenants
  • Circuit and provider relationships
  • Power infrastructure including feeds, panels, and connections

Charts are grouped logically, and zero-value data is excluded to reduce noise and improve clarity.

Lifecycle Risk Management

Track hardware and software lifecycle status to reduce operational risk.

  • Devices approaching or at end-of-support
  • Devices running end-of-life software or hardware
  • Infrastructure not covered by active support contracts
  • Visibility into lifecycle exposure across locations

This enables teams to proactively manage risk instead of reacting to outages or audit findings.

Automation Observability

Measure how automation is performing across your environment.

  • Total enabled jobs and execution activity
  • Jobs run in the last day and last 30 days
  • Success rates over time
  • Job execution trends by status
  • Job grouping by use case, such as configuration compliance, onboarding, or SSoT workflows
  • Job popularity by type

Time windows are configurable, allowing teams to analyze both recent activity and longer-term trends.

The Outcome

Continuous, Confident Operations. With Nautobot Insights, network teams move past fragmented reporting to achieve continuous visibility.

Engineers can quickly understand the current state of the network without writing queries or scripts. Platform teams gain confidence in automation performance by tracking execution trends and success rates. Leadership gains a clear, real-time view of infrastructure health and risk, knowing that all data is sourced directly from Nautobot—your Network Source of Truth (NSoT).

Because Insights is built directly into Nautobot, all data reflects the current state of the system of record, eliminating delays and inconsistencies.

Key benefits:

  • Real-time visibility into network inventory and structure
  • Clear tracking of lifecycle risk across devices and locations
  • Measurable automation performance and adoption
  • Reduced reliance on external reporting tools
  • Improved decision-making for both engineers and leadership
  • Scalable visibility aligned with NetDevOps workflows
