None of these necessarily get to your ideal state, but at least get you 
going wrt discovery for semi-dynamic documentation.

netdisco:
- https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Netdisco
- have not used, but has been around the block.

mnet:
- https://github.com/MJL85/mnet
- have used for rudimentary discovery
- have not beat on it extensively

netdot:
- https://osl.uoregon.edu/redmine/projects/netdot
- used at previous $dayjob
- decent integration/exports for other common monitoring or network 
   management tools

/r/networking may have more.

At the very least they should get you going without excessive setup time 
while you eval whether they fit the bill or you want something more 
integrated/comprehensive.
