Problem : Undefined environment variables

[josekampos]

Hi.

Nautobot is able to reach / authenticate my network devices using secrets + env variables.

For some strange reason when i try run a backup job, i get a message stating that the env variables are not available.

"SecretValueNotFoundError: Secret "cisco-user" (provider "EnvironmentVariableSecretsProvider"): Undefined environment variable "NAPALM_USERNAME"! "

here is my nautobot plugin config:

PLUGINS = ["nautobot_plugin_nornir", "nautobot_golden_config", "nautobot_device_lifecycle_mgmt"]

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    "nautobot_plugin_nornir": {
        "use_config_context": {"secrets": True, "connection_options": True},
        # Optionally set global connection options.
        "connection_options": {
            "napalm": {
                "extras": {
                    "optional_args": {"global_delay_factor": 1},
                },
            },
            "netmiko": {
                "extras": {
                    "global_delay_factor": 1,
                },
            },
        },
        "nornir_settings": {
            "credentials": "nautobot_plugin_nornir.plugins.credentials.nautobot_secrets.CredentialsNautobotSecrets",
            "runner": {
                "plugin": "threaded",
                "options": {
                    "num_workers": 20,
                },
            },
        },
    },
    "nautobot_golden_config": {
        "per_feature_bar_width": 0.15,
        "per_feature_width": 13,
        "per_feature_height": 4,
        "enable_backup": True,
        "enable_compliance": True,
        "enable_intended": True,
        "enable_sotagg": True,
        "sot_agg_transposer": None,
        "platform_slug_map": None,
        # "get_custom_compliance": "my.custom_compliance.func"
    },

}

Thanks in advance.

My guess is this section of the readme should answer your question:

The environment variable must be accessible on the web service. This often means simply exporting the environment variable will not suffice, but instead requiring users to update the nautobot.service file, however this will ultimately depend on your own setup. Environment variables are distinctively not nautobot configuration parameters (in naubot_config.py), if that does not makes sense, expect to see authentication issues.

[Service]
Environment="NAPALM_USERNAME=ntc"
Environment="NAPALM_PASSWORD=password123"
Environment="DEVICE_SECRET=password123”

I have exactly that configuration, so the issue must be from somewhere else...

I would suggest joining slack and asking there, this is meant for bugs, but fairly confident there is a configuration issue. SecretValueNotFoundError is based on a provider, but you haven't shown your provider information.

I agree, i'm closing this thread.
