This web service provides a database and API for product information, focusing on the lifecycle data (EoL checks) for network products.
The following features are implemented:
- automatic check of the lifecycle state for a list of products against the local database (Product Check)
- synchronization with the Cisco EoX API (initial sync and periodic sync for specific Product ID's)
- REST API to access the data
- data import using Excel (to add/update lifecycle data for other vendors)
- Product ID normalization function (convert an SNMP string to Product ID)
The following diagram shows an overview about the web service and the usage-options.
Please Note: Due to changes to the Cisco Support APIs, you need to recreate your credentials if they were created before the March 1, 2023 (see https://apiconsole.cisco.com/docs/read/overview/Migrating_Applications for more details).
To create a quick demo instance, just run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/hoelsner/product-database.git
docker-compose -p productdb -f docker-compose.template.yaml build
docker-compose -p productdb -f docker-compose.template.yaml up -dMore details about a production instance are available at Setup & Installation.

The Product Database is capable to synchronize the local database with the Cisco EoX API. More information about the API is available at http://apiconsole.cisco.com (login required). The Getting Started guide is available at the Cisco DevNet.
