JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU !!! I managed to get the output in json format ! Now it's much more easy to get this output into my flask web api and show there just the relevant output ! thank you x999999
when I use pipeline and other commands like uptime = connection.send_command("show version | in uptime", use_textfsm=True) the output is JSON but with many keys and value which I don't want type in the pipeline typically [ { "running_image": "", "reload_reason": "", "hostname": "admin", "uptime": "24 minutes", "config_register": "", "hardware": [], "mac": [], "version": "", "serial": [], "rommon": "" } ]
Just omit the pipe and parse out the response as a Python dict. For instance, the uptime item above try: c = ConnectHandler(**switch) c.enable() versions = c.send_command('show version', use_textfsm=True) uptime = versions[0]['uptime'] print(uptime) c.disconnect() except Exception as e: print(e)
great video, i am doing exactly the same thing as you but with Netgear Switch , am i getting false json output because there is no template for netgear ?
I wanted to parse "sh hsrp ipv4 brief" output in IOS-XR to JSon. No luck so far. I guess I will have to work on the plain text using splitlines() & regex
Hey Knox awesome video. One small request dough. I will really appreciated if you can make a video explaining how use Netmiko and paramiko, how to install it on a windows environment and integrated with VS. I have been really struggling to get it to work. Thanks sir.
There is a .env file (dot env) .. It reads similar to this username='ssh user' password='ssh pw' secret='enable secret' NET_TEXTFSM='/home/knox/Documents/CodeSamples/Python/Networking/IOS/ntc-templates/templates'
@@DataKnox i have started learning python recently..feel like some of fundamentals are ok now like lists, dictionary tuples conditional statements...now i am looking for a code that will track the switchport from its ip address..i found one in git and i just copy pasted and try to run it but it threw tracebacks..lol..looks like some basics i am missing here..github.com/routetehpacketz/cisco-ip-trace. Can you explain how to make this work or atleast start doing some videos on similar codes...like automating some real life repetitive tasks.......by the way, all you CBTians are awesome guys...full of energy...👍👍👍thanks for finding some time to reply my message...
3 years... i´m so late in this world... thank you man.
Nice vlog @knox.. look forward to see more example of custom perser to read some of cisco IOS tech-support logs

Rock on! Check out my video on PyATS, too! Another easy way to accomplish this
This video is an absolute gold mine, thank you so much!
Great Video Knox, well explained!
Thanks!
What a great video!!!!!! Thank you! I loved how you unpacked the dictionary. I did not know that one. Great energy delivering content. So cool
Great video! Thank you for explaining all the little bits.
This I a great work honestly and a great timing as well,I have just received a task to use Netmiko with JSON output ,but
when I use pipeline and other commands like
uptime = connection.send_command("show version | in uptime", use_textfsm=True)
the output is JSON but with many keys and value which I don't want type in the pipeline
typically
[
{
"running_image": "",
"reload_reason": "",
"hostname": "admin",
"uptime": "24 minutes",
"config_register": "",
"hardware": [],
"mac": [],
"version": "",
"serial": [],
"rommon": ""
}
]
I hope to find the answer,,,Thank you
Just omit the pipe and parse out the response as a Python dict. For instance, the uptime item above
try:
c = ConnectHandler(**switch)
c.enable()
versions = c.send_command('show version', use_textfsm=True)
uptime = versions[0]['uptime']
print(uptime)
c.disconnect()
except Exception as e:
print(e)
@@DataKnox In somehow it worked ... thank you so much keep it up , Hope to see more videos soon
Always love the T-shirts!
its really great thanks knox
Great video! Saludos desde Argentina
Great video Knox, love this stuff, more please! I think Netmiko uses c.disconnect() instead of c.close()
It sure does use disconnect() ! Good catch!
Great video. Great sharing
Great video, thank you!!
Jeez. This is awesome!
I wish someone had told me about it sooner! Haha
great video, i am doing exactly the same thing as you but with Netgear Switch , am i getting false json output because there is no template for netgear ?
thats awesome Knox, I was wondering can this also be accomplished via Genie ?

Do we still have to install ntc-templates separately? It seems to be included with Netmiko now?

Hey Bryan! I cover Netmiko in our ENAUTO course, albeit briefly. I’m hoping to do some dedicated Netmiko (plus PyATS) content later! Thanks!
Ha. Awesome shirt.
Data, fantastic explanation and examples. Could you post the format of your env.py file?
There is a .env file (dot env) .. It reads similar to this
username='ssh user'
password='ssh pw'
secret='enable secret'
NET_TEXTFSM='/home/knox/Documents/CodeSamples/Python/Networking/IOS/ntc-templates/templates'

tech evangelist I haven’t seen this but I will check it out!
@@DataKnox great thank you...keep doing what you are doing today...👍
Is It posible using this with iosxr? 😳
yes, you need to use 'cisco_xr' instead of 'cisco_ios' in 'device_type' :)
Nice tutorial pls how can i hide my password
You're totally wrong about ssh on that device. It most definitely supports ssh.
