A simple library to control Citrix Netscaler 9.2+ with NITRO API.

Project description

Simple Python Library to control Citrix Netscaler 9.2+ load balancers with NITRO API.
What we're trying here is to implement Citrix NITRO API SDK (that's available for Java and C#) in Python.

You can find a simple command-line interface using this library in contrib/.
Feedback/comments welcome.

Very basic usage::

import time
from nsnitro import *

nitro = NSNitro('localhost', 'api_user', 'api_user')
nitro.login()

# add server test
addserver = NSServer()
addserver.set_name("mp-nitroserver")
addserver.set_ipaddress("10.32.110.99")
NSServer.add(nitro, addserver)

server = NSServer()
server.set_name("mp-nitroserver")
server = server.get(nitro, server)
print server.get_name() + ": " + server.get_state()

# disable server test
server = NSServer()
server.set_name("mp-nitroserver")
NSServer.disable(nitro, server)

time.sleep(2)

server = NSServer()
server.set_name("mp-nitroserver")
server = server.get(nitro, server)
print server.get_name() + ": " + server.get_state()


# enable server test
server = NSServer()
server.set_name("mp-nitroserver")
NSServer.enable(nitro, server)

time.sleep(2)
