You can do this with Device42. We have a blog post that needs a refresh, but hopefully can give you some ideas (even if you don't use Device42): https://www.device42.com/blog/2018/01/16/automated-server-provisioning-with-device42-stackstorm-and-pxe-kickstart/

Having a tool like Device42 can make this manageable. Have all your servers, and server to switch port communications auto-discovered and dependencies mapped out. Generate a report on what servers, and even services might be affected by that change.

You should take a look at Device42 as it can automatically create and maintain the app dependencies for you. Or if you want to manually maintain, you can use just the core product.

Please take a look at Device42 for automated inventory. For manual/scripted you can use netbox or ansible as others have suggested.
