CLICRUD Integration Pack

This pack allows you to use CLICRUD with StackStorm or Extreme Workflow Composer.

It can be used to run CLI commands against Extreme MLX and VDX devices, Arris ICX switches, and vRouter.

This pack contains two actions:

• ops_command - run 'show' commands and operational commands
• config_command - run a list of configuration commands - see more below

config_command

Allows you to run a comma separated LIST of configuration commands. The real world rarely leads to running a single command so this action allows you to create a list of them which will be pushed. This could also mean a comma separated template, with the comma allowing each input to be treated as a line.

CLICRUD

If you are not familiar with CLICRUD, check out http://github.com/davidjohngee/clicrud for the latest or install using PyPi:

pip install clicrud

(NB This is automatically installed on StackStorm if you install this pack)

Version 0.3.00 Update

With version 0.3.00 of this pack and version 0.3.00 of CLICRUD, it is possible to use different pre-configured credentials for different environments.

It is also possible to use base64 encoded passwords and enable passwords.

Finally, the vRouter is now also supported.

Configuration

Copy clicrud.yaml.example to /opt/stackstorm/configs/clicrud.yaml

  ---
  environment:
    default:  
      username: "admin"
      method:   "ssh"
      password: "password"
      enable:   "password"
      port: 22
    icx:
      username: "admin"
      method:   "telnet"
      b64password: "B64ENCODEDSTRING"
      b64enable: "B64ENCODEDSTRING"
      port: 7045

You can specify groups of configurations, as shown above. When running commands, you can specify the config group to use, or it will use the default settings.

NB: port: is optional. It will use 22 by default for SSH, or 23 for Telnet. It is shown here as an example of over-riding the defaults

It is possible to swap out password/b64password and enable/b64enable.

You can also use dynamic datastore values.

After modifying the configuration, tell StackStorm to load it into the database with sudo st2ctl reload --register-configs
