Reiterive parsing when the same command appears multiple times.

Does anyone have a solution to parse multiple lines with the same constant.  For example, it is easy to create a paragraph parser to parse both the switchport trunk allowed vlan and switchport trunk allowed vlan add commands, but it will only parse one of the switchport trunk allowed vlan add instances. The “add” option can appear a number of times under one interface.  interface GigabitEthernet7/12 switchport switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,11,19,21,194,240,400,403,413,451-454,511,552 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 660,666,667,672,711,719,725,810,820,830,832 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 833,961,965,966

ADT Intents results exported to one CSV

I created a Network Intent that exports diagnosis to CSV, which works great when used in an auto-intent on a map, but we want to run this on thousands of devices and need a way to run/export these results to one spreadsheet.  A “map intent” has a limit of 1k command execution (so, up to 1k devices running one command on each).I created an ADT table with 2k devices, added the Network Intent, but when ran the intents in the ADT, I ended up with 2k spreadsheets of results from each device. Is there a way to export the NI diagnostics for 2k devices into one spreadsheet?

How to create One-IP Table intent that let you query IP Address or MAC from One-IP table via NB ChatBot ?

We have been asked to setup NB Chatbot and let you query the One-IP table with ‘IP Address or MAC” and get the results of Connected Switch port, Gateway, LanSegment information within the Bot. currently the Chatbot accepts inputs via ‘Intent, Intent Template or ADT’ we have to use one of these. so is there way we can define intent to call ‘One-IP table’ to get the results via chatbot ?

Iterative Parsing inside Paragraph Parser

Description:We are creating a Paragraph parser.  There are variables we want to store inside the paragraph; however, we’re only seeing a way to store the first instance as a variable.  Here’s an example of our command output: Addresses, Flags: Is-Preferred Is-Primary        Destination: 1.2.3.4, Local: 1.2.3.4, Broadcast: Unspecified, Generation: 1      Addresses, Flags: None        Destination: Unspecified, Local: 1.2.3.4, Broadcast: Unspecified, Generation: 1      Addresses, Flags: Is-Preferred        Destination: 1.2.3.4, Local: 1.2.3.4, Broadcast: Unspecified, Generation: 1      Addresses, Flags: None        Destination: Unspecified, Local: 1.2.3.4, Broadcast: Unspecified, Generation: 1Question:Our paragraph identifier starts above with “Logical Interface”.  In output we’re sharing (above) we want to store each Address and Destinastion as a variable; however, we want them tied to that logical interface.  Would this need to be done through a script (regex compile) or can we iterate

Qapp using canvas1 to pull the P2P IP and canvas2 to run CLI cmd on P2P IP to parse ping output

Hello I am trying to build a Qapp that runs 2 CLI cmd, one to pull the P2P IPs on the link between 2 nodes in canvas 1 and then second to run the ping on the those P2P IP variables from canvas1. First parser in canvas1 below is getting all the local p2p IP and then I am using script to create p2p IP for neighboring node. I am able to get all the required variables (ipv4_peer and intf) here with no issues.sh ip int bri | e "down|Down" | e unassigned Second parser below should be using the canvas1 variables to get the ping results but it’s not showing me the intended results.ping $ipv4_peer source $intfMy end goal is running a DVT/Qapp on the map to show latency/ping delay on the links between 2 nodes. Not sure if there is an easier method available for this. Please advise.Thanks in advance.

How to retrieve One-IP List using python script?

Greetings, How can I get the One-IP List using python script? I couldn’t find a built-in function for it. I am not trying to use the API method. My ultimate goal is to retrieve the DeviceObject (DNS/Hostname and IP Address) of EndPoints connected to Access Switch Interfaces. I have the MAC Addresses of connected Endpoints, but there isn’t any built-in function to my knowledge to retrieve the DeviceObject by MAC Adddress. Using the ARP Table is not really feasible because I would first have to Find the Gateway Router, get the contents of the ARP Table and then do the mapping. The Interface Report Table from the Qapp inlcudes the fields DNSName and IPAddress, but unfortunately does not output it. Any help is appreciated! Best Regards, DaveDaMan

QApp scripting questions

Hi,I’m trying to understand the scripting environment a bit more for qApps and have a few questions. For a table driven canvas I can pass one of table column values as a parameter to a parser.  Is it possible to pass any other types of variables to a parser, say from another script?  If so, how do you make it so that the variable is in scope for the parser Is it possible to access those table columns from a table driven canvas in scripts attached to a following table?  If so, what’s the syntax you need to use? What is the Variable Mapping option in the Run Options dialog used for?Many thanks in advance… Regards,Andy

QApp Python Script checking if GDT Table Variable is empty not working pythonic way?

Greetings, I just ran into an interesting problem: In Qapp, when I script a GDT Variable to check if a another GDT Table or Table Variable is empty, it does not work using pythonic way. How can I get to check if a Table Attribute (list) is empty or not without coming up with other creative solutions? Basically, the Attribute (list) or Table appears to never be empty despite containing no data. BID Table has _device, id and mac_limit attributes.GDT Table has attribute “note” that I use for scripting.When I check if BID Table (list) or BID.bid attribute (list) is empty is doesn’t return true for empty using pythonic way:#Check if BID.bid (list) is empty:if not $BID.bid:  $cell = “PASSED: Bridge-Domains are not configured”. Although empty, it doesn’t match and continues to go through next else statement: The value returned is “None”. In the note, I run the following script:try:    if $mpls_ldp is None:        $cell = "NOT APPLICABLE: Device is not a PE Device."    else:        if not $BID

Qapp get current row position of cell

Greetings, I need help with a Qapp on how rerieve the current Row Number of cell from a GDT/DDT. How is it possible using python in a custom variable column? I am creating a Cisco IP BGP Table from CLI Command “Show IP BGP”. Due to poor table output formatting, the Network and Next_Hop items overlap so that two rows are required for a single entry.As a result, in Qapp DDT or GDT the value for “network” (when too large and containing CIDR notation) is displayed in the “Next_Hop” column instead with not all other fields blank, while creating another row below containing all other columns values but a blank field in the Network Column.To fix that problem, I want to create a custom variable field that populates the correct Network Address by:finding current row position of cell retrieving the value of the Next_Hop field one row above current row positionAny help or pointers are appreciated. Best Regards, Dave

Question with Parser/Qapp Repository

Hello everyone, we just got our Netbrain setup with API access to Meraki and Velocloud via a proxy server. I was wondering if there was a repository for parser files for API calls outside of the built in parser files.  The parser file setup for API is a bit different than the other types of parser files and I am looking for more examples. Also, if there is a repository parser files to avoid the re-inventing the wheel scenario that would be great.

how to draw device's L3 gateway using python script

I have been dabbling with the Qapp Python scripting lately and i want to build a qapp wherein the user can have multiple end device ips as input and have their L2 connected switch and L3 Gateways automatically drawn on the map using one-ip-table information. However, looks like the gateways cannot be resolved by one ip table that’s why it is not being drawn. Then i noticed when the end device is drawn, i am able to see the L3 neighbor by extending the plus sign. Is there a Qapp API or a combination of them that can see the L3 neighbor? Or is there a better way to achieve this? Thank you! import PyDataModeloutput = GetOneIpTableItem($Input1.IP,"","","")output has no entry for gw.
