Config context

[FragmentedPacket]

Since config contexts are new as of 2.4 I figured it'd be nice to be able to use those as host vars.

I'm not sure if this implementation is the best way so additional tweaks may be needed.

Overview

• Add context: under hosts_vars in netbox.yml

hosts_vars: context: variable_name: config_context

• Once context: is configured under hosts_vars it will gather the context data for a single device or all devices

Sample data

./netbox.py --host switch2 {"ansible_ssh_host": "192.168.1.1", "serial": "awadawd21254", "asset-tag": "1001", "config_context": {"ntp2": "192.168.1.2", "ntp1": "192.168.1.1"}}

./netbox.py --list {"_meta": {"hostvars": {"switch1": {"serial": "cisco-serial", "asset_tag": "1234", "config_context": {"radius": {"radius03": "10.0.0.3", "radius02": "10.0.0.2", "radius01": "10.0.0.1"}, "tacacs": {"acs03": "10.0.0.3", "acs02": "10.0.0.2", "acs01": "10.0.0.1"}, "ntp-servers": {"ntp2": "192.168.1.2", "ntp1": "192.168.1.1"} "10": ["permit 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255", "permit 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255"]}} "switch2": {"ansible_ssh_host": "192.168.1.1", "serial": "awadawd21254", "asset-tag": "1001", "config_context": {"ntp2": "192.168.1.2", "ntp1": "192.168.1.1"}}, "group1": ["switch1"], "group2": ["switch2"]}

It appears it is only failing due to an issue with the Python3.5 TravisCI test:
The command "python setup.py requirements -t" failed and exited with 1 during .

[coveralls]

Coverage decreased (-9.4%) to 90.566% when pulling 16805b8 on FragmentedPacket:config-context into 095cfb1 on AAbouZaid:devel.

[FragmentedPacket]

To-do:

• Create test for change - this should resolve the coverage/coveralls score and bring it back to 100%

@aabouzaid Do you see this as a benefit? I've never worked on creating tests and want to make sure my code, etc. makes sense before I continue on and learn how to write the tests.
