How to access plugin data in a config template

[PaulR282]

Hi,
How do you access plugin data in a config template? I would like to use plugins like netbox-routing or netbox-secrets and use the information in config templates. But how do I get this data since I only have the device object context in the template?

Best Regards
Paul

open a nbshell in a terminal do a
lsmodels

That will output which netbox objects are available to query.

For me (having the config diff plugin installed) I get a section with the netbox config diff plugin objects like so:

NetBox Config Diff Plugin: netbox_config_diff.ConfigCompliance netbox_config_diff.ConfigurationRequest netbox_config_diff.PlatformSetting netbox_config_diff.Substitute

you can test your query in nbshell first (which I recommend).

You can do something like:

netbox_config_diff.ConfigCompliance.objects.all() to get all objects
netbox_config_diff.ConfigCompliance.objects.get(id=<something>) or
netbox_config_diff.ConfigCompliance.objects.filter(<some expression>) to filter for whatever you need.
