Can you obtain raw command data (CLI, Configuration, SNMP, etc.) via Qapp script?

Hi! I was wondering if it would be possible to avoid using the typical Device Queue → For each Device → Command → Parse → DDT no-code sequence of NetBrain Qapps, and write it in code instead. I figured out how to loop through all the devices in the queue as the first two Nodes in the sequence would, but I’m a bit stuck on how to call the commands, as I’m not sure if there’s a built in API call I can use to do this or not. for row in $_device_queue.GetRows():    device = row['this']Getting raw input would be ideal. I don’t need help on the Parser bit or converting to a DDT as I’m quite familiar with regex and NetBrain’s Table API - so it’s really just the command part.My reason for the request, is that for a given device queue, I need to run a list of multiple different types of commands on each device. One command may be for getting the configuration, some are for CLI output, and some are for SNMP output, etc. I know about the loop-tables functionality, to be able to run multiple comma

ADT Tables

Is it possible to have the ADT tables keeping the existing data and only update new data as an option?Example, once devices are queried, the information of online devices will be populated into the ADT, the next day, some of those devices might be offline and others online again, and again the table will only collect information of the online devices at that time and previous data will be lost because devices might be offline.Have ADT table that keeps building up on information as devices comes online.

Diff of vlans on multiple devices

Hello, I do have 4 cisco leave switches in a DC and I would like to check if all of them have the same vlans and vlan description on it.The possibel diff between the 4 shall be shown to the user.An Q-APP or an Intent would be great. It shall be the same functionality as a runbook (Diff) provides but for n switches and in an automation.A golden template would not work here as we do have multiple DC`s with different vlan´s, so we just need a comparism possibility here.br

But when I want do it via REST API I can only go through  rows with one Key IP, old DNS, MAC et. But o want to go through whole database and find every device that contains in hostname  for example backbone.

How do I grab data via SNMP, display it, and alert if above a threshold?

We have some Infoblox DHCP/DNS servers that I’d like to poll DHCP scope usage and if above a certain percent, fire off an email. I’d like to display this scope usage data on a dashboard too if possible. I know the data is there in SNMP https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios85/35418019/SNMP+MIB+Hierarchyhttps://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios85/35418019/SNMP+MIB+Hierarchy#ibDHCPOne-MIB I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this. Would I write a qapp for this? I can’t seem to find any up to date guides on how to grab this data, parse it, and present it.

Execute CLI Commands from the API

Is there some way to be able to execute CLI commands from the API and pull the files or output? It doesn’t seem there is a way to do it so I wanted to see if anyone has other methods that they have found that would work for this use case?

CSV report from Python script in QApp

Hello!Is there a way to export a CSV file by using the “Script” node in a QApp? I want to filter a table with more complex logic than the “Basic Output” or “Subtable” nodes that a QApp can provide, and then export it to a CSV file. Thank you!

Qapp Output to Report or Filtered Table

Hello all.  Just wanted to post here to see if this is even possible.  I have a Qapp that creates a CSV file with specific fields.  The purpose is to create a filtered table or report that shows all of our network switches and the amount of unused interfaces.  The CSV just has all the raw data.  I would still need to create some logic that says interface status is either “down” or “administratively down”, the last input is over a year or never, and the media type is one of many options (example:  10/100/1000BaseTX) as I want to exclude fiber interfaces.  For each row in the CSV, I want to just count these.  Then, ideally, the report would simply show 2 columns.Column 1              Column 2Switch 1 Name        Number of Unused PortsSwitch 2 Name        Number of Unused PortsDoes anyone know if this can be accomplished within NetBrain or would I just need to utilize something external and work with the raw CSV data?Thanks.

How do I validate configurations in our environment to ensure consistency.

Can anyone advise if there is a way to validate a base configuration to other like devices to ensure compliance and our standards are being followed.For example, I have a device or model that I would like to ensure all other devices are identical such asLogging AAA/TACACS ACL’s NTPMy approach, which doesn’t seem to be working was Create a Parser to capture Configuration for text fields that I would like to ensure are consistent. Create a NI for prior fields that need to match. Created a specific test group for selected devices.However, when I run the NI, it only compares the fields that I selected to the previous baseline for the device, not the device I want it to model.Any advise or direction appreciated. Thanks.

API call stub make a path and run a runbook with variable data on top

Hello all, I do an API call to create a path (working well) and would like to run a runbook/qapp on the dynamic created map.In the stub manager there is the possibility to add a runbook. The runbook itself is been put to the map and can be run manually.But how could it be made with a variable input and a outomatical run? I already tried $destination to set as the input in the field Filter, as the varibale already exist in the “Map Creation” section but it is not taken as a variable.  The goal is make a path with source-destination , run the paket capture on the created map with  the filter set on the destination address.

Network Health Runbooks

Does anyone have a runbook they can share made specifically for network health checks? I know how to put together a runbook with CLI commands to show CPU utilization or check for interface errors but was wondering if anyone got creative and made some Qapps or other elements in a runbook to accomplish this that I am not thinking of.On a side note, is there any place that NB users can submit their own custom made stuff?

Rate Limiting Automation Library

Hello everyone, My network has a couple of sites, which were having download/upload speed issues. We checked everything on our ISP, it wasnt them. After running the Highlight MTU Interface QAPP we realized some MTU mismatches which fixed the issues after matching them.But one site is still having the issue, I am checking the sites’ configs but is are there any automation library that checks rate limiting, or give me a good overall health for the site.  So far I have tried the Overall Health View, nothing stands out, MTU matches. I’d like to have a real in-depth look to the entire network on the site.Thank you. 6

Compliance and NGFW Policy Audit?

 Has anyone done NFGW Policy Audit with NetBrain automation (Rule Compliance, Access Compliance, Configuration Compliance) ?NetBrain collects the configuration, but there doesn't seem to be a build-in check relevant for businesses.Deleting unused rules also needs log information, but perhaps doable? SD-WAN, NFGW, and Cloud FW are usually under the special control and ownership of companies, i.e., there is interest, while the operator holds the WAN configuration. Even outsourced FW management, business need to audit compliance regulary. Of course, one option is to choose a separate FW Policy audit software, but if you have all config and digital twin it could be part of NB solution by default?
