PowerNetbox v4.5.2.0

Full Netbox 4.5.2 Compatibility | 20+ PRs Merged | 1436 Unit Tests | 98 Integration Tests

This is a major release bringing full Netbox 4.5.2 compatibility with significant new features, bug fixes, security improvements, and performance optimizations.

Highlights

  • Full Netbox 4.5.2 Support with netbox-docker 4.0.0 (Granian, PostgreSQL 18, Valkey 9)
  • Critical Bug Fix: ?exclude= → ?omit= parameter for Netbox 4.5.x
  • New Function: New-NBImageAttachment for uploading images to any Netbox object
  • -Omit Parameter: Added to all 123 Get functions for field exclusion
  • Security Fixes: Sensitive data redaction, SecureString for webhook secrets, safer redirects

New Features

New-NBImageAttachment Function

Upload images to any Netbox object (racks, devices, sites, etc.): powershell New-NBImageAttachment -ContentType 'dcim.rack' -ObjectId 42 -ImagePath './photo.jpg'

-Omit Parameter on All 123 Get Functions (#256, #258)

Exclude specific fields from API responses (requires Netbox 4.5.0+): powershell Get-NBDCIMDevice -Omit 'comments','description','local_context_data'

Strong Parameter Typing (#248)

ValidateSet attributes added for enum parameters across all functions.

VPN & Wireless Pagination (#250)

-All pagination support added to all VPN and Wireless Get functions.

Bug Fixes

Critical: ?exclude= → ?omit= (#257)

The ?exclude= parameter silently does nothing in Netbox 4.5.x. Changed to ?omit= for config_context exclusion, providing 10-100x performance improvement.

Security Fixes (#234)

Issue Fix
#228 Verbose logging now redacts sensitive fields
#230 Webhook Secret parameters use SecureString
#231 AllowInsecureRedirect only enabled with SkipCertificateCheck

Other Fixes

  • 252: Remove obsolete Form_Factor parameter

  • 247: Add input validation for URL segments

  • 246: Use Stack[object] for BranchStack type consistency

  • 245: Fix template-like example text in documentation

  • 232: Support v2 Bearer tokens in Get-NBDCIMRackElevation

  • 226: Remove unnecessary GET calls (performance)

  • 225: Add validation and fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings

  • 224: Fix help text corruption across modules

  • 223: Fix code formatting issues

  • 222: Fix verbose message issues

  • 221: Add missing 'Raw' parameter handling

  • 220: New-NBContactRole uses correct API endpoint
