Environment

Just got using netbox. I installed an on-boarding plugin but it does not work for mikrotik routeros routers. I get this error message.

OnboardException: fail-general: Onboarding for Platform None not supported, as it has no specified NAPALM driver

(venv) root@netbox:/opt/netbox# pip freeze napalm==2.5.0

PLUGINS = [ "netbox_onboarding"]

I went ahead to install napalm-ros module. I decided to add it as a plugin, it crashed the netbox application. Stating no napalm-ros app found.

(venv) root@netbox:/opt/netbox# pip freeze napalm==2.5.0 napalm-ros==0.8.0

(venv) root@netbox:/opt/netbox# cat local_requirements.txt napalm django-storages ntc-netbox-plugin-onboarding napalm-ros

At this point netbox crashes.

napalm-ros is not a valid NetBox plugin and adding it as a plugin will result in NetBox's errors.

Onboarding Plugin uses Netmiko to recognize (SSH Detect) the onboarded device. As this work in majority of cases, in case Netmiko is not able to recognize Mikrotik device, you have to manually specify (override) the Platform while creating an onboarding task request. In this case:
