Client for interacting with Infoblox NIOS over WAPI
Project description
Client for interacting with Infoblox NIOS over WAPI.
Free software: Apache license
Documentation: https://infoblox-client.readthedocs.org.
Installation
Install infoblox-client using pip:
pip install infoblox-client
Usage
Configure logger prior to loading infoblox_client to get all debug messages in console:
import logging logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
Low level API, using connector module.
Retrieve list of network views from NIOS:
from infoblox_client import connector
opts = {'host': '192.168.1.10', 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'admin'}
conn = connector.Connector(opts)
# get all network_views
network_views = conn.get_object('networkview')
For this request data is returned as list of dicts:
[{u'_ref': u'networkview/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmtfdmlldyQw:default/true',
u'is_default': True,
u'name': u'default'}]
High level API, using objects.
Example of creating Network View, Network, DNS View, DNSZone and HostRecord using NIOS objects:
from infoblox_client import connector
from infoblox_client import objects
opts = {'host': '192.168.1.10', 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'admin'}
conn = connector.Connector(opts)
nview = objects.NetworkView.create(conn, name='my_view')
network = objects.Network.create(conn, network_view='my_view', cidr='192.168.1.0/24')
view = objects.DNSView.create(conn, network_view='my_view', name='my_dns_view')
zone = objects.DNSZone.create(conn, view='my_dns_view', fqdn='my_zone.com')
my_ip = objects.IP.create(ip='192.168.1.25', mac='aa:bb:cc:11:22:33')
hr = objects.HostRecord.create(conn, view='my_dns_view',
name='my_host_record.my_zone.com', ip=my_ip)
Reply from NIOS is parsed back into objects and contains next data:
In [22]: hr Out[22]: HostRecordV4: _ref=record:host/ZG5zLmhvc3QkLjQuY29tLm15X3pvbmUubXlfaG9zdF9yZWNvcmQ:my_host_record.my_zone.com/my_dns_view, name=my_host_record.my_zone.com, ipv4addrs=[<infoblox_client.objects.IPv4 object at 0x7f7d6b0fe9d0>], view=my_dns_view
Objects Interface
All top level objects support interface for CRUD operations. List of supported objects is defined in next section.
- create(cls, connector, check_if_exists=True, update_if_exists=False, **kwargs)
Creates object on NIOS side. Requires connector passed as the first argument, check_if_exists and update_if_exists are optional. Object related fields are passed in as kwargs: field=value, field2=value2.
- search(cls, connector, return_fields=None, search_extattrs=None, force_proxy=False, **kwargs)
Search single object on NIOS side, returns first object that match search criteria. Requires connector passed as the first argument. ‘return_fields’ can be set to retrieve particular fields from NIOS, for example return_fields=[‘view’, ‘name’]. If ‘return_fields’ is ‘[]’ default return_fields are returned by NIOS side for current wapi_version. ‘search_extattrs’ used to filter out results by extensible attributes. ‘force_proxy’ forces search request to be processed on Grid Master (applies only in cloud environment)
- search_all(cls, connector, return_fields=None, search_extattrs=None, force_proxy=False, **kwargs)
Search all objects on NIOS side that match search cryteria. Returns list of objects. All other options are equal to search().
- update(self)
Update object on NIOS side by pushing changes done in local object.
- delete(self)
Deletes object from NIOS side.
