juniper_junos_jsnapy issue with Vagrant vQFX

[gmoisio]

Issue Type: Feature Idea Module Name: juniper_junos_jsnapy Last Master Juniper.Junos role and last Python libraries version

Using Vagrant vQFX and Ansible provisioning to simulate a network, there is an issue with juniper_junos_jsnapy module. The inventory file generated by Vagrant use a specific generated inventory_hostname for each device, but the ansible_host is the same (127.0.0.1). Difference is made with ansible_port for each device. JSNAPy use the IP address for the snap files. It's the same for each device, so we do not get the expected behavior in a simulation environment.

Is there a trick to change the way JSNAPy records the snap files names?

Thanks Regards

@gmoisio The support to specify custom file names is already present in JSNAPy, but is not currently supported via Ansible module: juniper_junos_jsnappy. Link: https://github.com/Juniper/jsnapy/wiki/4.-Module

Marking as an enhancement. Thanks for reporting the feature, will work on it and raise a PR.

Are there any specifics or ideas you think should be included in the feature ??

Hi, thank you for your answer.

Using the snap_file_name parameter as in JSNAPy would be great. The parameter named "devicename" is in fact the IP@ of the ansible_host in ansible/vagrant. The "prefix" parameter would be the {{ inventory_hostname }} to build a unique file name.

Thanks Best Regards

Hi, one more question please. When using JSNAPy as a module in Python, is there a way to access a field in a configuration file like this one in order to use it as a prefix for the file name? ----conf.yml----

hosts:
  - device: localhost
    username: root
    passwd: Juniper
    port: 2222

--Python code--

config_file = "conf.yml"
snapchk = js.snapcheck(config_file, <a_syntax_to_access_the_port_field>)

Thanks Regards

There is no such feature in Jsnapy, but this would be a nice feature to have. Will work on it and keep you posted.
