Installation

The easiest way to install pyinfoblox is by using pip:

$ pip install pyinfoblox

In order to install the latest version of pyinfoblox from the Github repository simply execute these commands instead:

$ git clone https://github.com/dnaeon/pyinfoblox.git
$ cd pyinfoblox
$ python setup.py install

Examples

The first thing we do when using pyinfoblox is to instantiate a new InfobloxWAPI object.

>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> from pyinfoblox import InfobloxWAPI
>>> infoblox = InfobloxWAPI(
...     username='admin',
...     password='p4ssw0rd',
...     wapi='https://localhost/wapi/v1.1/'
... )

Getting Infoblox networks is as easy as doing:

>>> networks = infoblox.network.get()
>>> print(networks)

Getting a specific network in Infoblox is easy too:

>>> network = infoblox.network.get(network='192.168.1.0/24')
>>> print(network)

Another example that will get all Infoblox ipv4address objects.

>>> ipv4address = infoblox.ipv4address.get()
>>> print(ipv4address)

Here is how to create a new Infoblox network:

>>> objref = infoblox.network.create(
...     network='192.168.1.0/24',
...     comment='This is my test network'
... )
>>> print(objref)
u'network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTkyLjE2OC4xLjAvMjQvMA:192.168.1.0/24/default'

Creating new objects returns a reference to the newly created object in Infoblox.

We can also update objects. When we update objects in Infoblox we need to pass the object reference as well. This is how we can update the network we created in the previous example

>>> infoblox.network.update(
...     objref='network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTkyLjE2OC4xLjAvMjQvMA:192.168.1.0/24/default',
...     comment='This is my updated network'
... )
u'network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTkyLjE2OC4xLjAvMjQvMA:192.168.1.0/24/default'
>>> network = infoblox.network.get(network='192.168.1.0/24')
>>> print(network[0]['comment'])
This is my updated network

When we no longer need an Infoblox object we can always remove it. Just make sure to pass the object reference when deleting objects.

>>> infoblox.network.delete(
...     objref='network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTkyLjE2OC4xLjAvMjQvMA:192.168.1.0/24/default'
... )
u'network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTkyLjE2OC4xLjAvMjQvMA:192.168.1.0/24/default'

As a last example we will see how to call functions on Infoblox objects.

Here is how to call the next_available_ip function on a network object in order to get the next 3 available IP addresses:

>>> infoblox.network.function(
...     objref='network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTkyLjE2OC4xLjAvMjQvMA:192.168.1.0/24/default',
...     _function='next_available_ip',
...     num=3
... )
{u'ips': [u'192.168.1.21', u'192.168.1.22', u'192.168.1.23']}

This example below calls the restartservices function on a grid object:

>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> from pyinfoblox import InfobloxWAPI
>>> infoblox = InfobloxWAPI(
...     username='admin',
...     password='p4ssw0rd',
...     wapi='https://localhost/wapi/v1.1/'
...)
>>> grids = infoblox.grid.get()
>>> print(grids)
[{'_ref': 'grid/b25lLmNsdXN0ZXIkMA:com'}]
>>> grid = grids[0]['_ref']
>>> infoblox.grid.function(
...     objref=grid,
...     _function='restartservices',
...     member_order='SEQUENTIALLY',
...     restart_option='RESTART_IF_NEEDED',
...     sequential_delay=10,
...     service_option='ALL'
...)
