Presenting the first-of-its-kind Equinix Asset Ingestion Engine

One network.
Every team’s lens.

Networking

Ask your network anything — in every team’s language.

Read our story

The visual control plane for infrastructure.

Orchestrate automation from one clean UI, and canonicalize colocation and live network data — cross connects, neighborships, health — into searchable, plain-English truth you can visualize in Autopyl.IT, in NetBox, or in the platforms your teams already use.

Tight integration with NetBox.

AutoPyl.IT treats NetBox as your system of record — syncing devices and colocation assets both ways, and using NetBox truth to drive discovery, automation, and reconciliation.

Two-way device sync

Keep devices, sites, racks, and interfaces aligned between AutoPyl.IT and NetBox — no double entry, no drift.

Colocation assets, reconciled

Cross connects, cabinets, and ports land in NetBox as canonical records, reconciled against ingested provider truth.

Primary management IP

Reach every device for automation by its NetBox primary management IP — one source of address truth.

Source of truth, kept honest

NetBox stays authoritative; live discovery and provider ingestion fill it, then continuously reconcile it.

Drives automation

Tags, roles, and relationships in NetBox become the inputs for orchestration and change workflows.

Drift detection

See where the live network diverges from NetBox intent — and close the gap with auditable actions.

Network observability

Visualize network data to
fit your lens.

AutoPyl.IT collects live state from every device, agentlessly, and turns vendor-specific output into canonicalized metadata that teams can custom-mine in
ways that make sense to them.

Agentless collection

Pull live state over SSH or API across Arista, Cisco, Juniper, Mellanox, Palo Alto, and Linux — no agents, hundreds to thousands of devices.

Ask in plain English

Answer trivial or complex questions as you operate — interfaces, routes, BGP/OSPF, ARP, MAC, VLANs — observability well beyond monitoring and alerting.

Trace any path

Follow a flow hop by hop across underlay and overlay, end to end — see exactly where traffic goes, and where it breaks.

Assert & validate

Confirm BGP sessions, OSPF adjacencies, MTUs, and interface state are how they should be — catch drift before it pages you.

Find anything, instantly

Locate any IP or MAC address anywhere in the fabric in seconds, without logging into a single box.

Point-in-time & drift

Replay the network at any moment, and diff two points in time to see exactly what changed — and when.

NetBox, in sync

Sync devices and colocation assets with NetBox, and reach every device for automation by its NetBox primary management IP — NetBox stays your system of record.

Multi-Vendor, Multi-Platform Support

AutoPyl.IT collects metadata across your diverse fleet of gear:

AutoPyl.IT Showcase
Equinix asset ingestion engine

Colocation Assets, Canonicalized.

Stop hopping the portal and deciphering spreadsheet exports. AutoPyl.IT ingests Equinix reports into searchable, plain-English, NetBox-ready cross connects, cabinets, and ports — the foundation for inventory lifecycle management, end-to-end traceability, billing visibility, decommission tracking, and automated trouble tickets.

Use cases

One source of truth, a dozen jobs done faster.

The same canonical model that answers your questions also powers the everyday work every team is already doing — by hand.

Network validation

Assert the network matches intent — before and after every change.

Troubleshooting

Answer “is it the network?” in seconds, not a war room.

Compliance audits

Evidence, controls, and change history on demand.

Health checks

Catch drift and degradations early, across the whole fabric.

Diagrams & docs

Always-current topology and rack diagrams, generated from truth.

Redesign planning

Model changes against real state instead of stale spreadsheets.

License & billing

See what’s actually installed versus what you’re paying for.

Colo reconciliation

Cross connects reconciled to NetBox, drift made explicit.

Be the water

What’s in place, and
what’s coming next.

AutoPyl.IT is an organic work in progress that grows with you. Here’s what you can use today, plus the exciting features we’re actively building right now.

In place

Available now

  • Equinix colocation ingestion

    Ingest Equinix inventory and normalize cross connects, cabinets, and ports into NetBox-ready, searchable assets.

  • UI-driven orchestration

    Tag- and group-based actions, action groups, implementations, transports, and runbooks — built and run from a clean UI on real worker queues.

  • Network data, canonicalized

    LLDP neighborships, interface health, and live topology become searchable truth — visualized in Autopyl.IT, in NetBox, or in other platforms, to fit your business and operational needs.

In the pipeline

In development

  • Generic colo importer

    The same normalization for colocation providers beyond Equinix.

  • More diagram sources

    CDP, IPv4 routing and multicast, ARP, and MAC layered onto the diagramming engine.

  • Path tracing, assert & find

    End-to-end path trace, state assertions (BGP/OSPF/MTU), and find-any-IP/MAC across the multi-vendor fabric.

  • Jira & Confluence integration

    Push canonical assets, changes, and diagrams into the tools your teams already run on.

  • Point-in-time snapshots

    Route, mroute, ARP, MAC, buffer, and more — plus interface history — captured as state you can replay.

  • Latency visual trace

    NetBox-driven, tag-based latency collection and visualization, from server and FPGA to exchange.

  • Equinix workflow automation

    Trigger-based trouble-ticket creation, cross-connect lifecycle (add / remove), billing summary and breakdown, and Fabric port & virtual-service management — including trigger-based failover / failback and bandwidth adjustments.
