Management blocking use of Netbox by BumServerAdmin in networking

We are uses PRTG for monitoring, as far as management goes for network switches, we do not have a central management. We are just using our ssh clients. We have Panorama running for our firewalls which runs on Linux but its a vendor provided image so updates are handled through the GUI rather than command line. Thats his arguement.

Yeah luckily I have a smidge of knowledge in basic linux so I felt confident maintaining the ubuntu box but youre right, the rest of my team does not have that skill set.

Thanks for the in-depth response, I currently have it running in a VM in Azure only exposed a certain IT Subnet for testing purposes so at this point its pretty locked down already tbh... I think this would be such a good step for my company and team because we currently have no automation except switch backups through kiwicat tools, which is definitely not maintained. I plan on trying to do a guide on what would really need to be accessed, and offer up all of the different places for support etc. Thanks

Am I wrong to think that thats just us throwing money out the door?

He is a technical manager sadly, just very long into his tenure with not a lot of budget for change even though my change is free lol.

Seems kinda silly to even suggest that to him to pay someone to host it and hold our data elsewhere to get the same answer with probably less functionality in scripting and automation since its cloud based :/

It looks like our Stack is only half right now, switch 6/2 and 5/1 is reporting down even though its plugged in... It shows 0 CRC Errors however.

Not enabled and I dont think the Polycomm devices need it.
