NetBrain Platform

I would like to have a web based dashboard for all the Qapp related CSV outputs in a centralized location in NetBrain platform.

Hello team, I would like to compare command output in two different scenarios.How to compare same command output from two different devices? and how to compare same command output from single device?

I’m reasonably familiar with python and other automation frameworks like Ansible. I’m trying replicate existing functionality we have via a python script within Netbrain via a Qapp. My plan is to pull data from devices and to manipulate the output with Python before returning a table/CSV to the user. I’m finding it fairly frustrating to get started with the python element in terms of feeding the data into the python script and outputting the data. Are there any good resources for learning this element or any code samples? The documentation I’ve seen doesn’t appear to focus on this element at all.

Where can I download the supplied NetBrain Qapps?  I inadvertently deleted one of them.

Hi all,I have a list of 50+ devices (hostnames) in a file which I would like to add to a single map. They are spread among many existing groups. Is there a way how to have them added to a map all at once? Like “Add to a map every hostname from this csv file” kind of at once.Or do I have to add them one by one from search menu?Related question, once I am finished with discovery process in domain management, is there a way to immediately put all discovered devices into a single map?Thank you for your timeJan Dudic 

I would like to FTP the files that are generated by my qapp to a local server. 

I need to export all audit logs of Netbrain into a file or database on monthly basis. How to export "audit logs" from "System Management" to a csv file ? 

How to trigger a Qapp to execute via an external script or an API when a certain condition met in network environment. 

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.    

Hi,Recently we have developed some Qapps to do different things, like analysing BGP parameters in our routers and firewalls.We have found a problem when we’ve tried to upload the final CSV to a SFTP server. Netbrain allows me natively to upload the CSV to a SMB server, but I haven’t found the way to do it via SFTP.The only way to do it is via programmed plugin, but it keeps your SFTP user/pass exposed, which is not desirable.Has anyone resolved this issue? Thanks!!Juan

We allow license surging in Release 10.x.  For a company whose growth strategy is growth through acquisition, our ability to scan the network of the “to be acquired company” is immense.  However, it is my understanding we can only scan access points and API based devices.  So legacy network devices, (i.e., routers, switches, load balancers, firewalls) cannot be scanned.   If my understanding is wrong, please correct me.  I feel that if this is correct, it is a tremendous shortcoming in the value proposition we can offer companies like Nestle and Centene.  I’d like to be able to punch a hole into the “to be acquired company’s” firewall, install a front server and discover their entire network, not a subset of it.   Can this be something we address in the near term?

Has anyone integrated NetBrain with NetBox? If so I am curious to know the challenges you faced in your journey.  Thanks!David

I would like to perform parsing programmatically. So, what I want is to get the complete output of a “show command”/”snmp query” to a parser variable. Please help. 

While doing administrator tasks on Netbrain, there could arise a requirement to check whether the devices were discovered via SNMP instead of CLI. Build a qapp with canvas containing device queue, followed by ‘script’ node. Use the below API in script from netbrain.sysapi import datamodeldevices = $thisfor device in devices:    snmp_status = datamodel.GetDeviceProperty("isSNMPConfig", device)         

If you want to use SNMPWalk on a device, this is the way to do it:Open Parser Library.Under My Parsers use the dropdown menu and select New Advanced Parser.When the new parser opens, select SNMP and SNMPWalk.In the OID field type 1. to start at the top of the MIB.After clicking on Retrieve, you can select a device.

Hi Team, Is there any way, we can ‘Remove devices from Domain’ automatically instead of doing manually like shown below. 

Where is the best place to get support for API related questions?  The API is maintained on GitHub, which has its own built in issue tracker.  Our support contract gives me access to the support portal where I can open tickets.  The Exchange gives me access to the Netbrain community. Which is the “best” place to get support for API issues?  Specifically, when I send an authenticated request to the CMDB/Users API endpoint and I provide the authentication server, username, tenant, and domain parameters, I get back just basic user information for the given user.  If I don’t specify anything except the admin account name I get back a lot more data.  I’m assuming by not specifying tenant and domain, the API is pulling data at the system level for the username instead of the domain level.  For user tracking and auditing, I need to be able to get back the detailed data for domain users as well as system level users. Sample of what I get back for domain users wit

I have added special CLI commands to my daily benchmarks. One example is "show running config vdc-all" on my Cisco Nexus'. This command will get all configurations of all Virtual Device Contexts of this device and save them to the CLI Commands tab of the Device Details.My question now for this and other commands is: Is the data in CLI commands analyzed and processed and then provided as additional information in data views and qapps or is it just collected and available for viewing and/or searching?Specific for this command: would all mgmt IPs of all VDC be added to the device as mgmt ports with IP address?

I am looking to gather BGP advertised and received routes on a per BGP router basis.  I’m sure it can be done via a QAPP/GAPP  but need to investigate if anyone has created such before I reinvent the wheel.  or if anyone know if such reporting is built into NetBrain.

I’ve enabled this option in NB 10 Integrated Edition. However, I cannot find where to set the path to the 3rd party SSH/Telnet client. Any help is appreciated.

Trying to import an *”.Xapp” from older version into version 8.03.When I select it, it shows status “Invalid file type”, and won’t let me complete Importing.Any solutions?

If the customer/user has record of all inventory, Is it possible to add the info to Netbrain during or prior to discovery process.
