This repository accompanies my post Nornir – A New Network Automation Framework and is my first test of the network automation framework formerly known as brigade (and now known as Nornir - not responsible for alliteration!) but updated (again) for version3 and the move to a more modular plugin architecture.
The original version of this repository back in 2018 was my first use of Nornir so the code has lots of comments as I figured stuff out. I started out with the sample get facts run_nornir.py script from from Patrick Ogenstad at Networklore.
I'm fairly excited about this! It took me about 45 minutes to get things set up on my Windows 10 system. It took almost no time at all on my Mac.
Using PyCharm on my mac the print_result output is formatted and color coded nicely. Using PyCharm on my Windows 10 system the output is less colorful.
The first_nornir.py script is my attempt to take the basics from Mr. Ogenstad's example script and decompose the objects and resulting data structures. It took me a while the first time and with Nornir2 it took me even longer! It makes complete sense and these objects are highly flexible but for someone newish to Python it nearly made my head explode. Luckily, with cranium still intact, I'm still very excited about this framework!
Having said that, if you are not comfortable with some of these more complex data structures please see Decomposing Data Structures or sign up for one of Kirk Byers Python for Network Engineers courses!
My next Sunday afternoon project will involve generating configurations and applying them.
- Define a nornir virtual environment with Python3.
- Activate your new virtual environment
- Install all the required modules with the pip install command as shown below
% python3 -m venv nornir38
% source ~/vEnvs/nornir38/bin/activate
% pip install -r requirements.txt
With version 3 of Nornir, the project underwent a restructuring not unlike the restructuring of Ansible 2.10.
In short, now assembly IS required with nornir3. Nornir core will have some basic modules but to achieve the full functionality you used to have with nornir2 additional modules or "plugins" now need to be specifically installed.
Here are the common ones used int his repository:
# Updated to new Plugin module format
from nornir_utils.plugins.functions import print_result # pip install nornir_utils
from nornir_napalm.plugins.tasks import napalm_get # pip install nornir_napalm
from nornir_netmiko.tasks import netmiko_send_command # pip install nornir_netmiko
Remember to install the relevant plugin you will use for your scripts.
Like Ansible, Nornir will leverage inventory information. Here you see a very basic groups.yaml file which can also contain a default section for more general values and a hosts.yaml file which can reference specific or more general group settings defined in the groups.yaml file. These files can take any key:value pair and the values with the "nornir_" prefix have special meaning as you would expect.
Note: The scripts in the repository comment out local devices and retain the DevNet Always On IOS-XE device so that the scripts can be run immediately with results (unless DevNet is undergoing maintenance). Local devices are left in for example purposes only. The output shown below includes output from local devices.

| run_nornir.py | Sample nornir script using napalm get facts from from Patrick Ogenstad at Networklore |
| first_nornir.py | Building on Patrick Ogenstad run_nornir.py script, this script works through understanding the returned objects and structured data. |
| netmiko_nornir.py | Now that we are little familiar with the basics of Nornir, let's use Nornir with Netmiko to get the output of specific commands rather than the structured data returned by Napalm facts. Make sure to update the NXOS sandbox in the groups.yaml file to use port 8181. |
| first_nornir_env_creds.py | This script is basically a copy of first_nornir.py but showing how environment variables can be used instead of hardcoding the credentials into the groups.yaml file. Many thanks to Chris Crook (@ctopher78) for getting it started. For a full discussion of this new credentials strategy see How Network Engineers Can Manage Credentials and Keys More Securely in Python |
The first part of the first_nornir.py script initializes a nornir object called nr. This reads in the topology and host information and the script shows how to get to some of that information.
Next, we use the run method on the nr object..well..to run some commands which in this case uses napalm to get facts.
The next sections of the script attempt to deconstruct the objects into workable values like getting the keys of all the hosts.

Lastly, we use the built in print_result command to print the resulting output in a highly readable way.
You may want to do this earlier because this will help you understand the data structure.
Example of the nornir print_result module which prints an Ansible-like status to stdout.
