Hi @aours 

I am sure you can do that in NB, just add a Python script and work with Regex and count.

Maybe easier: work on a precise command that will give you the result directly, something like this (depending on hardware):
  show interfaces status | count | inc notcon|disabl
  Number of lines which match regexp = 159

then use the Qapp to recognize the number variable and in the output you can then put it into a CSV file with your text.

Hi Aours,

Once you go into canvas and convert the CLI output into table, use sub-Table option to filter out the unwanted fields.

• Once you convert the CLI output into table, then use the “single table operator” and then use “Sub Table”.

• 

   

• Then click on Sub Table, Advanced to filter out the unwanted fields.

• 

  Once you click on “Advanced”, new window will pop-up. Define the condition in new window to remove the unwanted fields.

   

  NOTE: This Advanced option will remove the lines with matching condition - here define the condition that you want to filter

• 

   

• Below is the final table after you removing the unwanted rows based on the condition defined in Advanced section.

• 

   

• Then convert the Table2 into GDT table and then export it via CSV as below SS.

• 

  Please Let me know if you have any question, I’m ready to help.

Hi Aours,

This can also be achieved using Network Intent (No Code Automation) and Intent has capability to generate the CSV report too with simple steps as below

• Collect all the required variables and filter down based on your requirement as below 

• 

  Once, we collect all the unused port, we can “GetTableRowCount” function to get the count of all the interfaces

• 

  Then, we can create a diagnosis to generate the CSV output and below is the sample CSV output file,

• 

  The above output is for single device. In NetBrain we can “Network Intent cluster” to replicate the above logic to all devices and generate a single CSV with all the unused ports for all devices.

Hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your response.

I’m just learning Python (and NB for that matter).  Not sure how to implement it within NB.  

I don’t think I can do the IOS command counter since I need to see the “Last input” out of the “show interfaces” command.  That’s where the NB parser is nice.  

I was able to use Python externally using NB output to pull together a CSV that I can use.  I’ll post it here once I get it cleaned up.  Also, since I’m just learning Python, the coding is not the most efficient.

@Kranthi 

Thanks for your response.

I used your advice to trim down the CSV I get out of NB.  I then use that with Python that I pulled together externally.  Looking good so far.  Still a work in progress.

I am interested in the Intent, but I just don’t understand it.  I poked around a bit but just couldn't do it.  I guess that’s why NB has a “University”.  The tool is powerful yet complicated.  Eliminates a lot of regular users like me in generating useful automation.

Hi Aours,

Network Intent is very easy and No-code way to develop any automation. All you need is some training and practice.
