Firstly, what is the template you are trying to apply? Also if you main goal is to create an NSO service you can do that directly without involving an action to do so. -Dan ... View more

Hi, While I don't see a working we can share, you can read the nso_development guide and check out the section on service discovery. That section will provide some insight. I do plan on sharing some sample code for a similar use case, but I'm not there quite yet. -Dan ... View more

The vrf example is specific to updating the service configuration to include out-of-band changes to the device configuration and isn't targeted toward the service onboarding. In your case you would need to create services based on the device configuration you detect and then you would need to issue the service instance reconcile action to actually onboard the service.   As for the syntax used in the reconcile templates. That information can be found in the nso_development documentation provided with the release. Just in case you are unfamilar with the documentation you can find it in the doc directory at the top level on the NSO installation.   -Dan ... View more

In general, if the customer upgrades a device under management by NSO and they are using a CLI device. If the customer wants to use newly added commands, they would need a NED upgrade. -Dan ... View more

Most customers actually ssh directly to NSO itself and the hosting VM or Linux instance. In that way, they are forced to authenticate properly to gain access to NSO. -Dan ... View more

Can you post your service template? -Dan ... View more

Today, we have only CLI or NETCONF NEDs. You can however configure a device to use multiple NEDs so you conceivable use one NED for operational commands and the other for configuration. I would suggest you can't use both NEDs for configuration. -Dan ... View more

One thing I do sometimes for common tasks is to create a CLI command. I added the following command:   admin@ncs> dump-group group DAN    ios0    ios1    xr0    xr1 [ok][2018-12-18 15:28:01] admin@ncs>   I've added the python script which implements the command if its of interest -Dan import ncs import _ncs import _ncs.maapi as maapi import ncs.maagic as maagic import sys import argparse import os   step = 1 services = [] port = 0 devcfg = ""   def print_ncs_command_details():     print """         begin command             modes: oper config             styles: c i j             cmdpath: dump-group             help: Dump device group device members         end           begin param           name: group           presence: mandatory           flag: -g           help: Device group to dump         end           """ def main(argv):     global services     global port     global devcfg     parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()     parser.add_argument("-c", "--command", action='store_true', dest='command', help="command")     parser.add_argument("-g", "--group", action='store', dest='group', help="device group")     parser.add_argument("-v", "--verbose", action='store_true', dest='verbose', help="verbose")       args = parser.parse_args()       if args.command:         print_ncs_command_details()         exit(0)       with ncs.maapi.single_read_trans('admin', 'Device-Group' ) as t:         root = maagic.get_root(t)         if root.ncs__devices.device_group.exists(args.group) == False:          print "Device group [%s] doesn't exist !!"              group = root.ncs__devices.device_group[args.group]             for dev in group.device_name:          print '   %s' % dev                  if __name__ == '__main__':     main(sys.argv[1:]) ...

Hi Bill, Well using the NAVU API will require context switching while the XML approach doesn't. Have you tried using a template directly reading the service model? Thanks, -Dan ... View more
