Issue Reporting Guide

Hi there,

Thank you for opening an issue. Please note that we try to keep the Terraform
issue tracker reserved for bug reports and feature requests. For general usage
questions, please see: https://www.terraform.io/community.html.

Terraform Version

terraform -v
Terraform v1.9.8
on darwin_arm64

• provider registry.terraform.io/e-breuninger/netbox v3.9.2
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/boundary v1.2.0

netbox version : 4.0.11

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• netbox_virtual_machines

Terraform Configuration Files

# netbox.tf
provider "netbox" {
  server_url = var.netbox_server_url
  api_token  = var.netbox_api_token
}

# Try without the status filter first
data "netbox_virtual_machines" "all_vms" {
  limit = 2500
}

# Alternative with explicit status values
data "netbox_virtual_machines" "active_vms" {
  limit = 2500
  filter {
    name  = "status"
    value = "active"
  }
}

output "simple_counts" {
  value = {
    all_vms_count = length(data.netbox_virtual_machines.all_vms.vms)
    active_vms_count = length(data.netbox_virtual_machines.active_vms.vms)
  }
}

Debug Output

• status_counts = {
  + active = 776
  + decommissioning = 222
  + offline = 2
  }
  + total_count = 1000

After creating a script to list clusters, and get vms cluster by cluster the result is

"by_status" = {
"active" = 1041
"decommissioning" = 280
"offline" = 7

Expected Behavior

What should have happened?
With a limit at 2500 I should have all my vms listed (in my case 1041 active vms)

Actual Behavior

At the moment with limit = 0, we have 50 vms listed
With limit = 2500 or anything above 1000 we have 1000 vms listed.

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform apply
