6.4.3 Inventory API

Network devices inventory can be retrieved through the Inventory API. It is used within the cluster just by the NETCONF Broker. Once a query is received, it gets the reply from the databases. The actual query is send to them via the Load Balancer service in order to get the reply from the most updated database.

Although currently the only resource implemented is the devices inventory (/nodes), it could be extended for other types of inventory (i.e. network links).
