salt.modules.napalm_probes.config(**kwargs)

Returns the configuration of the RPM probes.

Returns:

A dictionary containing the configuration of the RPM/SLA probes.

CLI Example:

salt '*' probes.config

Output Example:

{
    'probe1':{
        'test1': {
            'probe_type'   : 'icmp-ping',
            'target'       : '192.168.0.1',
            'source'       : '192.168.0.2',
            'probe_count'  : 13,
            'test_interval': 3
        },
        'test2': {
            'probe_type'   : 'http-ping',
            'target'       : '172.17.17.1',
            'source'       : '192.17.17.2',
            'probe_count'  : 5,
            'test_interval': 60
        }
    }
}
salt.modules.napalm_probes.delete_probes(probes, test=False, commit=True, **kwargs)

Removes RPM/SLA probes from the network device. Calls the configuration template 'delete_probes' from the NAPALM library, providing as input a rich formatted dictionary with the configuration details of the probes to be removed from the configuration of the device.

Parameters:
  • probes -- Dictionary with a similar format as the output dictionary of the function config(), where the details are not necessary.

  • test -- Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False

  • commit -- Commit? (default: True) Sometimes it is not needed to commit the config immediately after loading the changes. E.g.: a state loads a couple of parts (add / remove / update) and would not be optimal to commit after each operation. Also, from the CLI when the user needs to apply the similar changes before committing, can specify commit=False and will not discard the config.

Raises:

MergeConfigException -- If there is an error on the configuration sent.

Returns:

A dictionary having the following keys:

  • result (bool): if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case of failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully performs all operations it is still True and so will be the already_configured flag (example below)

  • comment (str): a message for the user

  • already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied

  • diff (str): returns the config changes applied

Input example:

probes = {
    'existing_probe':{
        'existing_test1': {},
        'existing_test2': {}
    }
}
salt.modules.napalm_probes.results(**kwargs)

Provides the results of the measurements of the RPM/SLA probes.

:return a dictionary with the results of the probes.

CLI Example:

salt '*' probes.results

Output example:

        'test1': {

salt.modules.napalm_probes.schedule_probes(probes, test=False, commit=True, **kwargs)

Will schedule the probes. On Cisco devices, it is not enough to define the probes, it is also necessary to schedule them.

This function calls the configuration template schedule_probes from the NAPALM library, providing as input a rich formatted dictionary with the names of the probes and the tests to be scheduled.

Parameters:
  • probes -- Dictionary with a similar format as the output dictionary of the function config(), where the details are not necessary.

  • test -- Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False

  • commit -- Commit? (default: True) Sometimes it is not needed to commit the config immediately after loading the changes. E.g.: a state loads a couple of parts (add / remove / update) and would not be optimal to commit after each operation. Also, from the CLI when the user needs to apply the similar changes before committing, can specify commit=False and will not discard the config.

Raises:

MergeConfigException -- If there is an error on the configuration sent.

Returns:

a dictionary having the following keys:

  • result (bool): if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case of failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully performs all operations it is still True and so will be the already_configured flag (example below)

  • comment (str): a message for the user

  • already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied

  • diff (str): returns the config changes applied

Input example:

probes = {
    'new_probe':{
        'new_test1': {},
        'new_test2': {}
    }
}
salt.modules.napalm_probes.set_probes(probes, test=False, commit=True, **kwargs)

Configures RPM/SLA probes on the device. Calls the configuration template 'set_probes' from the NAPALM library, providing as input a rich formatted dictionary with the configuration details of the probes to be configured.

Parameters:
  • probes -- Dictionary formatted as the output of the function config()

  • test -- Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False

  • commit -- Commit? (default: True) Sometimes it is not needed to commit the config immediately after loading the changes. E.g.: a state loads a couple of parts (add / remove / update) and would not be optimal to commit after each operation. Also, from the CLI when the user needs to apply the similar changes before committing, can specify commit=False and will not discard the config.

Raises:

MergeConfigException -- If there is an error on the configuration sent.

Return a dictionary having the following keys:
  • result (bool): if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case of failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully performs all operations it is still True and so will be the already_configured flag (example below)

  • comment (str): a message for the user

  • already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied

  • diff (str): returns the config changes applied

Input example - via state/script:

probes = {
    'new_probe':{
        'new_test1': {
            'probe_type'   : 'icmp-ping',
            'target'       : '192.168.0.1',
            'source'       : '192.168.0.2',
            'probe_count'  : 13,
            'test_interval': 3
        },
        'new_test2': {
            'probe_type'   : 'http-ping',
            'target'       : '172.17.17.1',
            'source'       : '192.17.17.2',
            'probe_count'  : 5,
            'test_interval': 60
        }
    }
}
set_probes(probes)

CLI Example - to push changes on the fly (not recommended):

salt 'junos_minion' probes.set_probes "{'new_probe':{'new_test1':{'probe_type':'icmp-ping',            'target':'192.168.0.1','source':'192.168.0.2','probe_count':13,'test_interval':3}}}" test=True

Output example - for the CLI example above:

junos_minion:
    ----------
    already_configured:
        False
    comment:
        Configuration discarded.
    diff:
        [edit services rpm]
             probe transit { ... }
        +    probe new_probe {
        +        test new_test1 {
        +            probe-type icmp-ping;
        +            target address 192.168.0.1;
        +            probe-count 13;
        +            test-interval 3;
        +            source-address 192.168.0.2;
        +        }
        +    }
    result:
        True
