In configuration.py I came across this:

# Credentials that NetBox will use to access live devices.
NETBOX_USERNAME = os.environ.get('NETBOX_USERNAME', '')
NETBOX_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('NETBOX_PASSWORD', '')

It made me curious what this was about since I hadn't come across it in the documentation aside from the optional settings that relate.

I did find some details from @jeremystretch in the reddit thread here, here and here.

Documentation and support will be provided once the RPC system has been re-implemented. The current implementation is not production-ready.
