Even if that plugin can be optimized for performance, it still feels like an inefficient approach. Users will add and modify devices in Netbox, for example marking them off-line to remove from monitoring. These changes are infrequent, and I want Prometheus to respond as fast as possible. So I’m thinking a better design would be to use a Netbox event trigger to generate the new yaml file, and somehow transfer that file to Prometheus for file SD discovery, perhaps using SCP.
