astarmiko

Astarmiko is an advanced Python toolkit for managing and automating enterprise-grade network infrastructure over SSH. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous execution models, YAML-based inventory and configuration, and deep vendor-specific handling.

🚀 Features

• ✅ Unified interface for Cisco, Huawei, and others
• ⚡ Asynchronous SSH commands execution using asyncio
• 🔄 Automated configuration backups
• 🧠 Intelligent MAC/IP tracing and topology resolution (FindHost)
• 📁 Structured YAML configs for devices, commands, and segments
• 📊 Logging with stdout, JSON, rsyslog, Loki, Elastic support

📦 Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt

Requires Python 3.8+

📂 Project Structure

• astarmiko/base.py – core class Activka for managing devices
• astarmiko/async_exec.py – class ActivkaAsync for parallel SSH
• astarmiko/log_config.py – flexible logging config (JSON, stdout)
• scripts/fh.py – FindHost utility: locate host by IP or MAC
• YAML/ – all inventory, command mapping and segment data
• TEMPLATES/ – TextFSM templates for structured parsing

🚀 Recommended location for configuration files

All configuration files (YAML, TEMPLATES, example) are recommended to be stored in the user's home directory:

• Linux/macOS: ~/astarmiko/
• Windows: C:\\Users\\username\\astarmiko\\

This will allow you to: ✅ Easily edit configuration files
✅ Avoid permission issues
✅ Use them on different operating systems without changes

Example:

mkdir -p ~/astarmiko
cp -r ./astarmiko/YAML ~/astarmiko/
cp -r ./astarmiko/TEMPLATES ~/astarmiko/
cp -r ./astarmiko/example ~/astarmiko/

---

## 🧑‍💻 Usage Examples

### Run show and config commands in parallel:

```python
from astarmiko.async_exec import ActivkaAsync, setup_config

setup_config("astarmiko.yaml")
a = ActivkaAsync("activka_byname.yaml")

await a.execute_on_devices(["R1", "R2"], ["show version"])
await a.setconfig_on_devices(["R1"], ["interface lo1", "description test"])

Run FindHost (fh.py)

python fh.py 192.168.1.23

📘 YAML Config Files

activka_byname.yaml

Defines all devices, their types, IPs, segment and role:

Router1:
  device_type: cisco_ios
  ip: 10.1.1.1
LEVEL:
  Router1: R
SEGMENT:
  Router1: SEG A

astarmiko.yaml

Global configuration for templates, logging, credentials, etc.

• templpath: path to FSM templates
• logging: enable/disable logging
• add_account: fallback credentials list

commands.yaml

Maps vendor-agnostic command names to real CLI syntax:

commands:
  arp_table:
    cisco_ios: "show ip arp"
    huawei: "display arp"

Also defines MAC formatting rules for each platform.
