How to filter the output- Junos Automation with Ansible


Purpose of my Code is to filter a specific Routing instance name from Configuration.

My search is for a Routing Instance which is in configuration-> Routing -Instances->Instance -> name -> MY RI and all the lines which has MY RI I am okay with Filter and passing kwargs but I am facing issue.

Code:

---
- name: Get RI
  hosts: junos Host
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  roles:
    - Juniper.junos
  tasks:
    - name: send rpc with args
      juniper_junos_rpc:
        host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
        user: "user"
        passwd: "pssword!"
        rpc: get-config
        logfile: 'rpc.log'
        format: xml
        dest: "{{ inventory_hostname }}.xml"
        kwargs:
          filter_xml: configuration/routing-instances/instance/name = CSP-RI-L2-cc6abb1d-63ab-483f-b4ce-f4b978c877cc

**ERROR**
error:fatal: [sit-entce.tlab.equinix.com]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "module_stderr": "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Crypto/Cipher/blockalgo.py:141: FutureWarning: CTR mode needs counter parameter, not IV\n  self._cipher = factory.new(key, *args, **kwargs)\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_T0LCbD/ansible_module_juniper_junos_rpc.py\", line 622, in <module>\n    main()\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_T0LCbD/ansible_module_juniper_junos_rpc.py\", line 518, in main\n    options=attr, **kwarg)\nTypeError: get_config() got multiple values for keyword argument 'filter_xml'\n",
    "module_stdout": "",
    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE",
    "rc": 1

Any suggestions. Multiple RI would be there and I have to search one RI and print it or store all the lines which has that RI name


Solution

  • Say a device got below configuration

    # show | compare | display xml 
       <rpc-reply xmlns:junos="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/18.1I0/junos">
          <configuration>
                <routing-instances operation="create">
                    <instance>
                        <name>pqr</name>
                        <interface>
                            <name>ge-0/0/2.0</name>
                        </interface>
                    </instance>
                    <instance>
                        <name>xyz</name>
                        <interface>
                            <name>ge-0/0/1.0</name>
                        </interface>
                    </instance>
                </routing-instances>
        </configuration>
    

    Now if you want to filter a very specific instance, you can use filter option. filter can be used as

    filter_xml: <routing-instances><instance><name>pqr</name></instance></routing-instances>
