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.

Upload Qapp result via SFTP

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

Discovering All Devices for M&A Purposes

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?

How to get the complete output of Show Command to a variable retrieved by a parser ?

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.

Netbrain - Discovery Method of Devices

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)

Using SNMPWalk in NB

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.

API Support - User Details

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 with external authentication:[{

Data Handling Question

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?

BGP advertised route qapp

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.
