Reading proplist values in a MAAPI script

tcragg1 — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 11:13:33 GMT

Is it possible to read the proplist values for a service inside a MAAPI script? If so, does anyone have a code sample they could share?

You mean reading with a script after provisioning?

If you dump the service instance with ncs_load with flags like '-M -U -o' you will see that there is no convenient 'proplist' node.
If I remember proplist does persist so my guess would be that NSO stores proplist in the private/diff-set gibberish under the instance or somewhere else entirely. First is not useful at all, second would be cool to know if true.

Yes, there is a private/property-list/property list in each service instance:

In [2]: with ncs.maapi.single_read_trans('admin', 'python') as t: ...: s = ncs.maagic.get_node(t, '/foo-service{bar}') ...: for p in s.private.property_list.property: ...: print(p.name, p.value) ...: k1 v1 k2 v2

You can also access it in the CLI if you unhide fastmap-private.
