librenms_handler's Introduction

LibreNMS handler

A Python library to interact with the LibreNMS API (v0).

The project aims to provide the user with as much information as if they were looking at the reference guide themselves.

I have not used it myself so I cannot endorse it, but a quick search shows that LibreNMSAPI has a similar goal with a different outlook. Consider checking it out if this project doesn't suit your needs!

Usage

The package is installed with the following package managers like so:

Pip

pip install librenms-handler

Pipenv

pipenv install librenms-handler

The following statement will initialise the chosen endpoint:

from librenms_handler.devices import Devices

devices = Devices(
    'https://librenms.example.com',
    'e4ef9234abab59a90628dd3f616a60b4'
)

NOTE: If you are using a self-signed certificate for your server, you can bypass the errors by passing the initialisation option verify=False.

Once done, a list of methods will be available to you such as devices.list_devices(). Upon operation, the method will execute and return the required request to your LibreNMS instance.

>>> devices.add_device('test_device', snmp_disable=True, force_add=True)
{'status': 'ok', 'message': 'Device test_device (13) has been added successfully'}
>>> devices.del_device('test')
{'status': 'ok', 'devices': [{'device_id': 13, 'inserted': '2021-03-13 15:56:19', 'hostname': 'test_device', 'sysName': '', 'ip': None, 'overwrite_ip': None, 'community': '', 'authlevel': None, 'authname': None, 'authpass': None, 'authalgo': None, 'cryptopass': None, 'cryptoalgo': None, 'snmpver': 'v2c', 'port': 161, 'transport': 'udp', 'timeout': None, 'retries': None, 'snmp_disable': 1, 'bgpLocalAs': None, 'sysObjectID': None, 'sysDescr': None, 'sysContact': None, 'version': None, 'hardware': '', 'features': None, 'location_id': None, 'os': 'ping', 'status': True, 'status_reason': '', 'ignore': 0, 'disabled': 0, 'uptime': None, 'agent_uptime': 0, 'last_polled': None, 'last_poll_attempted': None, 'last_polled_timetaken': None, 'last_discovered_timetaken': None, 'last_discovered': None, 'last_ping': None, 'last_ping_timetaken': None, 'purpose': None, 'type': 'server', 'serial': None, 'icon': 'images/os/ping.svg', 'poller_group': 0, 'override_sysLocation': 0, 'notes': None, 'port_association_mode': 1, 'max_depth': 0, 'disable_notify': 0, 'location': None, 'lat': None, 'lng': None, 'attribs': [], 'vrf_lite_cisco': []}], 'message': 'Removed device test_device\n', 'count': 1}

The output is exactly the same as if you were using Curl to make the requests.

Should you wish to use any other endpoint, the situation would be the same: from librenms_handler.endpoint import Endpoint

Environment variables

While initialising the handler, the following parameters are required. The handler first checks for the following environment variables, should you choose to use them.

Environment variable	Description	Type	Example
LIBRENMS_URL	Full URL to the target LibreNMS instance	string	https://librenms.example.com
LIBRENMS_TOKEN	Token generated from `LIBRENMS_URL/api-access`	string	e4ef9234abab59a90628dd3f616a60b4

Endpoints

The progress of API endpoints are shown in their respective projects below: See Projects to track the progress of the endpoints or select individual ones below.

It is not possible to say when an endpoint is 'done', as they are being expanded as time goes on. Each function will have its own issue tracked, so you can search to see if implemented or not.

Endpoint	Started
Alerts	False
ARP	True
Bills	False
Device Groups	True
Devices	True
Inventory	True
Locations	True
Logs	True
Port Groups	False
Ports	False
Routing	False
Services	False
Switching	True
System	True
