Command in config is;feature pim

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.

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?

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?

Configuration change CLI commands

Hello! Is there a way to run configuration change CLI commands (for example “conf t” → “banner login ‘some banner’” → “exit” → “copy running-config startup-config”)? I saw that you can run show type CLI commands through benchmarks, but the config change ones don’t seem to work. Thank you

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?

Multivendor environment and EEE verification using NetBrain?

What would be the best way to verify (audit) using NetBrain that all devices in the multivendor network with power saving features are also configured and turned on? (Cisco EEE, IEEE 802.3az, HPE Aruba Green AP) - Electricity in Europe will be astronomically expensive by 2022.

Parser with multiple variables

Hello I’m trying to create a parser for repeated use in my company. My goal is to identify intrefaces that haven’t been used in over 6 months by using the “sh int” command and parsing the “Last input” portion of the output.GigabitEthernet1/0/19 is down, line protocol is down (notconnect)   Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 1111.1111.111 (bia 1111.1111.111)  Description: Example  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec,      reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255  Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set  Keepalive set (10 sec)  Auto-duplex, Auto-speed, media type is 10/100/1000BaseTX  input flow-control is on, output flow-control is unsupported   ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00  Last input 6w4d, output 6w4d, output hang never In theory this should be easy but because of how Cisco shows the dates it is fairly hard to put into a string and parse it. I have this so far as to identify interfaces:$int is $int_status, line protocol isAnd this for the last input port

Netbrain Report for all configured IP addresses

I am looking to see if there is a report or an easy QAPP that can query a device (like a core switch) and return all configured IP addresses (some devices have multiple VRFs).   We have a few initiatives that this would be a handy set of data (dynamic on demand) for us to have.

Diff Report

Is there an option to create a report of all the devices with a configuration drift. Also know as a differential (diff) between device configurations and a golden config? Ideally I do not select each device and compare configurations.

Multiple Dataviews per Qapp

Is there any way to apply more than one dataview within a single Qapp?  I have created a Qapp that has two data tables, however even though you can create what looks like two dataviews, the definition of those only references Table 1 and I have not found a way to change the reference.
