Troubleshooting nano services in PnP Core Function Pack

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy and test NSO Cisco PnP Core Function Pack 3.0.2. I installed confd and two NSO packages pnp-service-3.0.2 and confd-pnp-ned-nc-1.0 on ncs-5.8.2.1.

Initial configuration has been done per documentation.
Map configuration for the test router is shown below:

 

 

 

pnp map 9I0AZUN0V9J
 serial 9I0AZUN0V9J 
 device-name R2-new
 authgroup default
 username admin 
 password $8$1qT9UhUf5GmxYhM5uvoAgPT4tqqgmu5+Hw5WPaQSYx4=
 sec-password $8$2CT7UuvNwAfm7WblGu6tlpUe7dAAd1cMGEhl2zu9mwY= 
 device-type cli
 ned-id cisco-ios-cli-6.67 
 port 22
 day0 day0-file [ CSR1000v.txt ]
 day0 cfg-properties variable CSR_HOSTNAME
 value R2-clean16
!
 managed true
!

 

 

 

Router contacts confd (using DHCP option 43), gets day0 config but it is never added to the NSO as managed device.
PnP is implemented as nano service in NSO and device is stuck in the device-created with create-init post action state.
Documentations says "If the action is still executing, then the leaf will show either a create-init or delete-init status instead." which means something got stuck.

Examining the yang model there is pre-condition to monitor pnp state for particular serial and a trigger for "device-added" value and execute "pnp internal actions create-device"

 

 

 

ncs:component-type "ns-pnp:managed-device" {
      ncs:state "ncs:init";

      ncs:state "ns-pnp:device-created" {
        ncs:create {
          ncs:pre-condition {
              ncs:monitor "/pnp-service:pnp/pnp-service:state[serial=$SERIAL]" {
              // TODO: Is this always the case, i.e it's enough that we
              // see the device to send down the map config?
              ncs:trigger-expr "device-added";
            }
          }
          ncs:post-action-node "/pnp-service:pnp/pnp-service:internal/pnp-service:actions" {
            ncs:action-name "create-device";
          }
        }
      }

 

 

 

The device clearly has state "device-added" as shown below. In the plan you can see that devices reached "device-created"  but the kicker never execute the post-action which should trigger class CreateDeviceAction(ncs.dp.Action) in the python and add device to the NSO. You can see create-init post action state like something got stuck.

 

 

 

admin@ncs# show pnp state 9I0AZUN0V9J | display xpath 
/pnp/state[serial='9I0AZUN0V9J']/udi PID:CSR1000V,VID:V00,SN:9I0AZUN0V9J

/pnp/state[serial='9I0AZUN0V9J']/device-added
/pnp/state[serial='9I0AZUN0V9J']/latest-event-type device-added

 

 

 

If I manually run command bellow, device is added to the NSO.

 

 

 

pnp internal actions create-device component-props { name SERIAL value 9I0AZUN0V9J } component-props { name ID value 9I0AZUN0V9J }

 

 

 

Strangely kicker doesn't show action name "create-device" but reactive-re-deploy. Maybe this is normal.

kickers data-kicker "pre-condition: /pnp-service:pnp/map-plan{9I0AZUN0V9J}/plan/component{ns-pnp:managed-device 9I0AZUN0V9J}/state{ns-pnp:device-created}/pre-conditions/create/pre-condition{0}"
 monitor      /pnp-service:pnp/pnp-service:state[serial=$SERIAL]
 trigger-expr device-added
 variable ID
  value '9I0AZUN0V9J'
 !
 variable PLAN
  value /pnp/map-plan[id='9I0AZUN0V9J']/plan

 variable SERIAL

 !
 variable ZOMBIE
  value "/ncs:zombies/ncs:service[ncs:service-path=\"/pnp/map[id='9I0AZUN0V9J']\"]"
 !
 kick-node    /pnp-service:pnp/pnp-service:map[pnp-service:id='9I0AZUN0V9J']
 action-name  reactive-re-deploy
!


I need help how to debug nano service, more precise how to debug if certain pre-condition monitor is triggered and why action-name isn't executed (why stuck in create-init post action status). There is nothing in the log files related to the class CreateDeviceAction. It is like nso is unable to execute /pnp-service:pnp/pnp-service:internal/pnp-service:actions create-device

Thanks

Hi,

Somehow the post-action call was executed but NSO was unable to realize it. if you try the command: "show side-effect-queue", you will be able to see which call is stuck.  Also, just for troubleshooting, check the HA status of your deployment, if you are not using HA, make sure it is disabled in the ncs.conf file.

My 2 Cents.
