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

@gmoisio The support to specify custom file names is already present in JSNAPy, but is not currently supported via Ansible module: juniper_junos_jsnappy.

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.

Hi ,
We have option to pass snap_file_name parameter as below.

~/ansible_release_test5/ansible-junos-stdlib/tests# jsnapy --snapcheck /root/ansible_release_test5/venv/etc/jsnapy/snapshots/test1_pre_show_system_storage.xml -f junos_jsnapy/common_config.yml -v
jsnapy.cfg file location used : /root/ansible_release_test5/venv/etc/jsnapy
