Palo Alto interfaces not discovered

I’m working in an inherited Netbrain install. One pair of our Palo Alto NGFWs only show HA and management interfaces, none of the physical ethernet interfaces. This causes issues when searching paths that run through these firewalls. A path search that traverses this firewall will start with a switch directly connected to the firewall. If the next hop from the layer 3 switch is an ethernet interface/zone on the Palo Alto, Netbrain places an End System on the map. The end system’s IP address is the one assigned to the PA ethernet interface. The path ends with this “end system” (and a Path Failed message: Gateway device was not found), as there is no apparent discovered route from the source zone to the destination zone in the firewall, and then to the eventual destination. When viewing the firewall’s config in Netbrain, the physical interfaces are listed, along with the virtual router’s associated zones, corresponding interfaces and routes. +++In comparison, a different pair of Palo Alt

QApp: Cisco Router, Extended Ping, MTU Dont Fragment

Hello, Can a QApp ping the IP on the other end of a link with the “don’t fragment” bit set to that link’s MTU? Can this be done for every interface on the router?

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

Netbrain data-server in disconnected state

Hi everyone,A couple of days ago suddenly in Service Monitor the data server is showing as offline and all services stopped. The thing is that actually the data service is on and responsive, and service monitor agent is running as well as all of the services.An even stranger thing is that when I restart the FS the data server appears as Connected with all the services running, but after a couple of seconds it goes back to Disconnected.Any ideas on this? Our Netbrin version is 10.1.15.10 in case is needed.

Authentication error in Firewall

Hi again everyone.Is there a way to not to check SSH credentials in a Palo Alto Firewall in Netbrain? Our firewall rejects those kind of auth attempts (as many other FW do) so it appears as a validation error in the map and seeing it red is kind of nerve wracking. Thanks in advance

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?

Auto Intents into a Runbook

Hello, I am looking to put an auto-intent into a runbook. Reason being is that I can export the diagnosis output of intents into a word document. I dont think its natively possible to add an auto intent or auto intent profile into a runbook. Are there any work arounds? Any easy ways to add an auto intent/auto intent profile into a QAPP? Then add the QAPP into a runbook?The auto intents are crucial as the replication logic is something we will use all the time due to different environments, hostnames etc - hence discounting common intents without the auto-replication via auto intent. Thanks

What will I lose if I uninstall the entire IE and reinstall from scratch?

I had an oopsi and now cannot get my front server reconnected. In the 2 server deployment I accidently hit yes on the uninstall front server controller and then it no longer accepted the credentials but I do believe I was using the same credentials. One of the tests were successful for reconnecting to the front server but yet it would never reconnect. So I thought why not jump back another level and uninstall FS and FSC and start over, now I have even less than I previously had. Suggestions on how to not lose a ton of work but get this deployment healthy again?

Request - One-IP Table Duplicate IP Addresses Logic

In order to filter out One-IP Tables for duplicate IP addresses, there is the Domain Option to filter DHCP entries. The issue is that the logic removes all non-unique entries. Rather than only removing duplicate IP entries, it removes duplicate MAC entries.While I should only ever have a single MAC for a given IP, I can have the same MAC do multiple IP addresses. The DHCP remove option should only mess with same IP for multiple MAC addresses, but not multiple IP addresses for the same MAC.

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

How do I grab data via SNMP, display it, and alert if above a threshold?

We have some Infoblox DHCP/DNS servers that I’d like to poll DHCP scope usage and if above a certain percent, fire off an email. I’d like to display this scope usage data on a dashboard too if possible. I know the data is there in SNMP https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios85/35418019/SNMP+MIB+Hierarchyhttps://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios85/35418019/SNMP+MIB+Hierarchy#ibDHCPOne-MIB I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this. Would I write a qapp for this? I can’t seem to find any up to date guides on how to grab this data, parse it, and present it.

Create new custom device attribute using Python (not API)

Good Day,Netbrain Version 10.0 How can I create a custom device Attribute using Python, NOT using the API method? Documentation shows how to do it using APIs, but not using the “non-API” method. I know the following Python methods/functions exist:SetDeviceProperty and GetProperty: Example:SetDeviceProperty("is_external_router", $_device.GetProperty("name"), "Yes, External Router")AddMessage($_device.GetProperty("is_external_router")) Of course, it’s not going to work (prints “None”) without first creating the new Attribute. As stated, I need to know what the function/method name is to create a custom attribute. Thanks in advance for your help. Dave
