-# Housekeeping
-
-NetBox includes a `housekeeping` management command that should be run nightly. This command handles:
-
-* Clearing expired authentication sessions from the database
-* Deleting changelog records older than the configured [retention time](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#changelog_retention)
-* Deleting job result records older than the configured [retention time](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#job_retention)
-* Check for new NetBox releases (if [`RELEASE_CHECK_URL`](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#release_check_url) is set)
-
-This command can be invoked directly, or by using the shell script provided at `/opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.sh`.
-
-## Scheduling
-
-### Using Cron
-
-This script can be linked from your cron scheduler's daily jobs directory (e.g. `/etc/cron.daily`) or referenced directly within the cron configuration file.
-
-```shell
-sudo ln -s /opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.sh /etc/cron.daily/netbox-housekeeping
-```
-
-!!! note
-    On Debian-based systems, be sure to omit the `.sh` file extension when linking to the script from within a cron directory. Otherwise, the task may not run.
-
-### Using Systemd
-
-First, create symbolic links for the systemd service and timer files. Link the existing service and timer files from the `/opt/netbox/contrib/` directory to the `/etc/systemd/system/` directory:
-
-```bash
-sudo ln -s /opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.service /etc/systemd/system/netbox-housekeeping.service
-sudo ln -s /opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.timer /etc/systemd/system/netbox-housekeeping.timer
-```
-
-Then, reload the systemd configuration and enable the timer to start automatically at boot:
-
-```bash
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-sudo systemctl enable --now netbox-housekeeping.timer
-```
-
-Check the status of your timer by running:
-
-```bash
-sudo systemctl list-timers --all
-```
-
-This command will show a list of all timers, including your `netbox-housekeeping.timer`. Make sure the timer is active and properly scheduled.
-
-That's it! Your NetBox housekeeping service is now configured to run daily using systemd.

 # MAC Addresses
 
-!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2."

 A MAC address object in NetBox comprises a single Ethernet link layer address, and represents a MAC address as reported by or assigned to a network interface. MAC addresses can be assigned to [device](../dcim/device.md) and [virtual machine](../virtualization/virtualmachine.md) interfaces. A MAC address can be specified as the primary MAC address for a given device or VM interface.
 
 Most interfaces have only a single MAC address, hard-coded at the factory. However, on some devices (particularly virtual interfaces) it is possible to assign additional MAC addresses or change existing ones. For this reason NetBox allows multiple MACAddress objects to be assigned to a single interface.

 # VLAN Translation Policies
 
-!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2."
-
 VLAN translation is a feature that consists of VLAN translation policies and [VLAN translation rules](./vlantranslationrule.md). Many rules can belong to a policy, and each rule defines a mapping of a local to remote VLAN ID (VID). A policy can then be assigned to an [Interface](../dcim/interface.md) or [VMInterface](../virtualization/vminterface.md), and all VLAN translation rules associated with that policy will be visible in the interface details.
 
 There are uniqueness constraints on `(policy, local_vid)` and on `(policy, remote_vid)` in the `VLANTranslationRule` model. Thus, you cannot have multiple rules linked to the same policy that have the same local VID or the same remote VID. A set of policies and rules might look like this:

 As described above, jobs can be scheduled for immediate execution or at any later time using the `enqueue()` method. However, for management purposes, the `enqueue_once()` method allows a job to be scheduled exactly once avoiding duplicates. If a job is already scheduled for a particular instance, a second one won't be scheduled, respecting thread safety. An example use case would be to schedule a periodic task that is bound to an instance in general, but not to any event of that instance (such as updates). The parameters of the `enqueue_once()` method are identical to those of `enqueue()`.

 ### System Jobs

 Some plugins may implement background jobs that are decoupled from the request/response cycle. Typical use cases would be housekeeping tasks or synchronization jobs. These can be registered as _system jobs_ using the `system_job()` decorator. The job interval must be passed as an integer (in minutes) when registering a system job. System jobs are scheduled automatically when the RQ worker (`manage.py rqworker`) is run.

+

+# Webhooks
+
+NetBox supports the configuration of outbound [webhooks](../../integrations/webhooks.md) which can be triggered by custom [event rules](../../features/event-rules.md). By default, a webhook's payload will contain a serialized representation of the object, before & after snapshots (if applicable), and some metadata.
+
+## Callback Registration
+
+Plugins can register callback functions to supplement a webhook's payload with their own data. For example, it might be desirable for a plugin to attach information about the status of some objects at the time a change was made.
+
+This can be accomplished by defining a function which accepts a defined set of keyword arguments and registering it as a webhook callback. Whenever a new webhook is generated, the function will be called, and any data it returns will be attached to the webhook's payload under the `context` key.
+
+### Example
+
+```python
+from extras.webhooks import register_webhook_callback
+from my_plugin.utilities import get_foo_status
+
+@register_webhook_callback
+def set_foo_status(object_type, event_type, data, request):
+    if status := get_foo_status():
+        return {
+            'foo': status
+        }
+```
+
+The resulting webhook payload will look like the following:
+
+```json
+{
+    "event": "updated",
+    "timestamp": "2025-08-07T14:24:30.627321+00:00",
+    "object_type": "dcim.site",
+    "username": "admin",
+    "request_id": "49e3e39e-7333-4b9c-a9af-19f0dc1e7dc9",
+    "data": {
+        "id": 2,
+        "url": "/api/dcim/sites/2/",
+        ...
+    },
+    "snapshots": {...},
+    "context": {
+        "foo": 123
+    }
+}
+```
+
+!!! note "Consider namespacing webhook data"
+    The data returned from all webhook callbacks will be compiled into a single `context` dictionary. Any existing keys within this dictionary will be overwritten by subsequent callbacks which include those keys. To avoid collisions with webhook data provided by other plugins, consider namespacing your plugin's data within a nested dictionary as such:
+    
+    ```python
+    return {
+        'my_plugin': {
+            'foo': 123,
+            'bar': 456,
+        }
+    }
+    ```
+
+### Callback Function Arguments
+
+| Name          | Type              | Description                                                       |

+| `object_type` | ObjectType        | The ObjectType which represents the triggering object             |
+| `event_type`  | String            | The type of event which triggered the webhook (see `core.events`) |
+| `data`        | Dictionary        | The serialized representation of the object                       |
+| `request`     | NetBoxFakeRequest | A copy of the request (if any) which resulted in the change       |
+
+## Where to Define Callbacks
+
+Webhook callbacks can be defined anywhere within a plugin, but must be imported during plugin initialization. If you wish to keep them in a separate module, you can import that module under the PluginConfig's `ready()` method:
+
+```python
+def ready(self):
+    super().ready()
