How to run Napalm Methods using the napalm Plugin

[resparis]

Hi Team,

I was using the previous version of netbox and I was able to run Napalm Methods using the following API endpoint, sending the netbox device id and the method:

/dcim/device/{id}/napalm

Using napalm as method, seems the endpoint is:

/api/plugins/netbox_napalm_plugin/napalmplatformconfig/{id}/napalm/

I can't find a way to send the method I want to run.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

i'm also missing the napalm proxy endpoint /api/dcim/device/{id}/napalm/menthod=get_xxx

.. but i don't see

/api/plugins/netbox_napalm_plugin/napalmplatformconfig/{id}/napalm/...

as a replacement, because the "parent" endpoint

/api/plugins/netbox_napalm_plugin/napalmplatformconfig/{id}

exposes the model "Napalm Platform Config" (as defined by the napalm plugin)
.. meaning the /{id} part is the PK of a platformconfig object .. NOT a device id

yes. one could add more parameters (&target_device_id=...)
.. but that negates the whole purpose of this model
(predefined mapping from "device.platform" value to either "napalm driver" or None)

Also, passing both platformconfig.pk and device.pk to the API would be

• redundant (device.platform implies the driver)
• conflict-prone (platformconfig "IOS" vs. non-IOS-device)
