Create NetBox API Token for Airflow

Introduction

This task will provision an API key in NetBox to allow Netos Pod (Airflow) to pull and push data into NetBox. The playbook will perform the following steps:

1. Create a NetBox user called airflow_api with a superuser role.
2. Generate an API key for the airflow_api user (meaning that any updates from Airflow are clearly attributed to Airflow, i.e. Netos Pod).
3. Configure the NETBOX_API_KEY variable in Airflow.

This solution assumes that Airflow is running on the local server. For remotely connected NetBox <> Netos Pod configurations, please set the API manually in Airflow.

The Playbook

The "Create API User" task failed because the user exists. In this case it will refresh the token used by Airflow.

The NetBox API key is created. If the key is wrong, the Global Orchestration DAG will not start and will show an authentication error in the logs.
