测试用，作为Nornir的inventory 插件管理设备对象。依赖版本改为新版本。

nornir_table_inventory

The nornir_table_inventory is Nornir plugin for inventory.It can manage inventory by table file(CSV or Excel). Excitedly, it provides a hidden method to use your database or your automation system as a inventory source. Netmiko connections support only.

It doesn't support groups or defaults,because it focuses on flat data,and the data lies in table file of two-dimensional.

nornir_table_inventory supports 3 inventory classes .

• CSVInventory manages inventory by csv file
• ExcelInventory manages inventory by excel(xlsx) file
• FlatDataInventory manages inventory by python list object of dict,by this inventory plugin ,you can combine nornir with your database and automation system.

Installing

pip install nornir-table-inventory

Example usage

Using the Nornir configuration file

---
inventory:
      plugin: CSVInventory
      options:
          csv_file: "inventory.csv"

runner:
    plugin: threaded
    options:
        num_workers: 100

from nornir import InitNornir


nr = InitNornir(config_file=r'config.yml')

for n, h in nr.inventory.hosts.items():
  print('host name:', n)
  print('host hostname:', h.hostname)
  print('host username:', h.username)
  print('host password:', h.password)
  print('host platform:', h.platform)
  print('host port:', h.port)
  print('host data:', h.data)
  print('host netmiko details:', h.connection_options.get('netmiko').dict())
  print('='*150)

Using the InitNornir function by dict data

from nornir import InitNornir

runner = {
    "plugin": "threaded",
    "options": {
        "num_workers": 100,
    },
}
inventory = {
    "plugin": "ExcelInventory",
    "options": {
        "excel_file": "inventory.xlsx",
    },
}

nr = InitNornir(runner=runner, inventory=inventory)

for n, h in nr.inventory.hosts.items():
  print('host name:', n)
  print('host hostname:', h.hostname)
  print('host username:', h.username)
  print('host password:', h.password)
  print('host platform:', h.platform)
  print('host port:', h.port)
  print('host data:', h.data)
  print('host netmiko details:', h.connection_options.get('netmiko').dict())
  print('='*150)

Table Instructions

name	hostname	platform	port	username	password	city	model	netmiko_timeout	netmiko_secret
netdevops01	192.168.137.201	cisco_ios	22	netdevops	admin123!	bj	catalyst3750	60	admin1234!
netdevops02	192.168.137.202	cisco_ios	22	netdevops	admin123!	shanghai	catalyst3750	60	admin1234!

• name：name of host

• hostname： IP or fqdn of host

• platform：netmiko's device_type

• port：port of host,netmiko's port

• username，password： username adn password of host

• netmiko_prefix variables，will load into ConnectHandler（Netmiko）function to build netmiko ssh connection object.

• timeout conn_timeout auth_timeout banner_timeout blocking_timeout session_timeout will be converted into int.If you define it in table's headers，you must assignment it，otherwise it will raise exception ，because it will call int(None).

• netmiko's fast_cli will be converted into boolean.values of false 0 None(Case insensitive)will be converted into False，others will be converted into True。

• others data such as city or model (any field name you can define) in the table will be host's data.

  Above table will be used as following codes and result

  from nornir import InitNornir
  
  nr = InitNornir(config_file=r'config.yml')
  for n, h in nr.inventory.hosts.items():
    print('host name:', n)
    print('host hostname:', h.hostname)
    print('host username:', h.username)
    print('host password:', h.password)
    print('host platform:', h.platform)
    print('host port:', h.port)
    print('host data:', h.data)
    print('host netmiko details:', h.connection_options.get('netmiko').dict())
    print('='*150)
  

  Results：

  host name: netdevops01
  host hostname: 192.168.137.201
  host username: netdevops
  host password: admin123!
  host platform: cisco_ios
  host port: 22
  host data: {'city': 'bj', 'model': 'catalyst3750'}
  host netmiko details: {'extras': {'timeout': 60, 'secret': 'admin1234!'}, 'hostname': None, 'port': None, 'username': None, 'password': None, 'platform': None}

  A Strong Hidden Method —— any data source as a inventory

The two inventory plugins are based on the FlatDataInventory plugin. FlatDataInventory plugin provides a way to load inventory by puthon's list,the list's member is dict. We can get some data, and transform them into form as list of dict. By this way we can combine nornir with any database or automation system. You do not need sql or csv plugin any more.

from nornir import InitNornir
from nornir_utils.plugins.functions import print_result
from nornir_netmiko import netmiko_send_command


def get_nornir_by_your_func(some_args=None, num_workers=100):
  """Use any way to get some data(such as sql or restful api), and transform them into form as follwing"""
  data = [{'name': 'netdevops01', 'hostname': '192.168.137.201',
