Hermes keeps his home lab NetBox inventory current with a nightly network discovery scan

By VirtualizationHowto · Blogs · October 13, 2026

I have been interested in targeting Netbox for my new iteration of home lab IPAM and documentation and wanted to get the Hermes agent doing most of this for me. … This led to me asking it to create a network discovery incremental scan after it grabbed the first scan of the environment. This way my documentation doesn’t go stale and is updated with changes in the environment.
