external pillar: netbox module missing?

[heinz6...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I wanted to use the netbox external pillar, as described in

https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/ref/pillar/all/salt.pillar.netbox.html

But a

salt '*' pillar.items

tells me:

salt-master[221677]: [CRITICAL] Specified ext_pillar interface api_url is unavailable
salt-master[221677]: [CRITICAL] Specified ext_pillar interface api_token is unavailable
salt-master[221677]: [CRITICAL] Pillar render error: Failed to load ext_pillar netbox: 'api_url'

Do I need to install an additional package? How? I am workign on a CentOS8.2.

Maybe. Don't know how it is on CentOS, but Debian has a Python Netbox
package:

% apt-cache search netbox
python3-pynetbox - Python API client library for NetBox


HTH...

netbox package installed. I assume it is a bug in netbox.
