ACIToolkit - Listing Endpoints [Key Error]

Nik1709 — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 14:23:53 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am just studying for DevNet Associate exam and I am currently trying out DC Automation with Python.

So i downloaded ACIToolkit and imported it into my script. I can list tenants, EPGs you name it...

However when I try to list endpoints i do get an error message saying that there is an key error within some of the ACIToolkit files.

I created this little test-script for showcasing:

import sys

import acitoolkit.acitoolkit as aci

APIC_URL = "https://sandboxapicdc.cisco.com"

USER = "username"

PASS = "password"

# Login to APIC

SESSION = aci.Session(APIC_URL, USER, PASS)

RESP = SESSION.login()

if not RESP.ok:

print("Could not login to APIC")

sys.exit()

ENDPOINTS = aci.Endpoint.get(SESSION)

for ENDPOINT in ENDPOINTS:

print(ENDPOINT.name)

However when I log in with the appropriate sandbox credentials I receive the following error message:

PS C:\Path_to_File> python .\acitoolkit_test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Path_to_File\acitoolkit_test.py", line 27, in <module>
ENDPOINTS = aci.Endpoint.get(SESSION)
File "C:\Path_to_File\acitoolkit\acitoolkit.py", line 5432, in get
endpoints = Endpoint._get(session, endpoint_name, interfaces,
File "C:\Path_to_File\acitoolkit\acitoolkit.py", line 5388, in _get
endpoint.ip = str(ep['ip'])
KeyError: 'ip'

Does someone know what I am missing here ? Or is it an error within the acitoolkit.py file ?

Like I said there are no problems in displaying tenants, epgs etc. but when i want to display the endpoints there is this error.

Looking forward to your answers.

Thanks in regards!

Niklas

EDIT:

So I did a little troubleshooting and I saw that in line 5388 the file "acitoolkit.py" which comes with the ACI Toolkit wants to get the endpoints IP address (endpoint.ip = str(ep['ip'])) however while testing with Postman I saw that the response does not contain a field for "ip".

So when commenting the "endpoint.ip = str(ep["ip"]))" out I started to receive data again.

Does someone know how I can see the endpoints IP address then ?

Thanks!

I get no error with TENTANTS = aci.Tenant.get(SESSION). I guess there is no Endpoint in that Pod.

Hi @Marcel Zehnder ,

Thanks for your response. I have taken the script from below sample script. I am not sure why I am getting this error while executing below script from GitHub. I have installed Cobra SDK and ACITOOLKIT libraries and modules. On the other hand, other script is running properly from below sample GitHub folder.

https://github.com/datacenter/acitoolkit/blob/master/samples/aci-show-endpoints.py

It would be highly appreciated if you assist me on this below script according to shared screenshot.

Thanking you.

Hi @euahmed

There is already an open issue for this: https://github.com/datacenter/acitoolkit/issues/388

Looking at the code, the problem is related to endpoint objects with no "ip" attribute: Line 5394 will not work (https://github.com/datacenter/acitoolkit/blob/master/acitoolkit/acitoolkit.py#L5394). We should get the dict values via ep.get(<attribute_name>) and not via ep[<attribute_name>], I will check if there is PR for this, if not I will create one.

Also I'm not sure if acitoolkit is still maintained.

Cheers
Marcel
