Vigicap
Connector
NetBox
API credential, entered client by client.
Open-source network infrastructure management tool (DCIM/IPAM) — inventory of racks, equipment and IP address ranges, widely used by MSPs and network teams. Vigicap reads the number of devices recorded in the DCIM module (and, for information, the number of IP addresses in the IPAM) to evaluate the ReCyF objective « Inventaire des actifs ».
01
What to create in the tool
The access is created in NetBox, not in Vigicap. Vigicap never asks for an administrator's password: it expects an API credential that you create, that you can see, and that you can revoke without us.
Where to generate it
Create a token in NetBox: user menu (top right) > API Tokens > Add a token (or Admin > API Tokens depending on the version). The token is shown only once — copy it immediately.
Minimum role
Un jeton d'API dont la case « Write enabled » est décochée — NetBox le restreint alors aux opérations de lecture — rattaché à un utilisateur ne portant que les permissions d'objet dcim.view_device et ipam.view_ipaddress.

02
What to enter in Vigicap
The exact fields of the connection form, in the order they appear. Values marked “secret” never travel back to the browser: they are encrypted at rest and deleted on disconnection.
The form starts with the instance address, entered separately from the fields below. The public catalogue does not yet publish whether this connector needs one, or what it looks like — so this list is exact about everything else, and silent about that first field.
- API tokensecret
User menu > API Tokens > Add a token — write access is not required, read-only is enough.

03
Per-client routing
The connection is made client by client: one credential per client, entered on that client's record. Nothing is shared between two clients, and disconnecting one leaves the other untouched.
04
What it does, and what it does not do
ReCyF objectives it pre-fills
A reading feeds one objective of the ANSSI ReCyF framework. It PROPOSES it: the level only counts once a consultant has confirmed it.

Read-only
The reads are read-only: Vigicap writes nothing into the tool while reading it.
What is read, what is kept, for how long and with which rights: the same register, connector by connector, in the data inventory.
Verification
This connector has been run end to end against a real instance of the tool, not merely tested against a mock.
