easy = NetMRIEasy( **params );

The Constructor for NetMRI_Easy takes a kwargs for options:

host - api host. Provided by NetMRI

username  - host username. Provided by NetMRI

password - host password. Provided by NetMRI

job_id - Job id. Provided by NetMRI

bacth_id - bacth id. Provided by NetMRI

device_id - device id. Provided by NetMRI

Methods

easy.set_variable( variable_name, variable_value )

Set a server-side variable. This is useful when retrieving a template via get_template and the template contains variables that are not defined by the Script-Variables for the current job. This is because template merging (i.e. variable substitution) is performed on the server-side.

Example

easy.set_variable('username', 'test_username')

This method requires a CLI connection to the device, NetMRI must have credentials for the device the NetMRIEasy script is run against.

easy.send_command( command )

Send a command to the target device.

Example

output = easy.send_command("show version")

This method requires a CLI connection to the device and that the NetMRI have credentials for the device the NetMRIEasy script is run against.

easy->get_template( $template_name )

Retrieve a template. For the given template, retrieve the content and perform any necessary variable substitutions.

Example

contents = easy.get_template("Cisco Router")

This method requires a CLI connection to the device and that the NetMRI have credentials for the device the NetMRIEasy script is run against.

easy.get_list_value(list_name, key_column, key_value, value_column, default)

Look up a value in a list. For the given list name, finds the first row containing the given key value in the given key column and returns the value contained in the given value column. If the look up fails, the given default is returned.

The default is  is returned if no value is found. If default is not specified, then empty string " " is used as the default. This method requires a CLI connection to the device, NetMRI must have credentials for the device the NetMRIEasy script is run against.

easy.generate_issue(severity, issue_type_id, **kwargs)

Generate an issue. For the given issue type id, generate an issue of the given severity using the name/value pairs defined in the given parameters as the issue details.

severity

severity is one of "error", "warning" or "info"

issue_type_id

String issue type id

kwargs

arguments containing the issue details.

Example

issue_id = easy.generate_issue("info", "IOSBanLoginUpdateSuccess", **{

     "Name":'Sample Name',

     "Host":'1.2.3.4'

})

easy.log_message(severity, message)

Log a message of the given severity (one of 'debug', 'error', 'warning' or 'info'). The message is written to the custom.log file.

This method requires a CLI connection to the device and that NetMRI have credentials for the device the NetMRIEasy script is run against.

easy.broker(broker_name)

Get the broker object of the corresponding API controller. Similar to device or cli_connection. Broker objects can be used to query and modify objects on the NetMRI appliance.
