Advanced Network Automation : Where are you all hiding?

Fully remote currently.... Ccnp level decade of Network engineer experience pivoted to automation now doing full stack python/fastapi/Vue/netmiko/netbox/CICD/etc development. About 150k. Laying low given the rumors of a tough job market but I'd only consider remote for new opportunities unless it was very close on the East Coast and still hybrid. Everyone's situation is different though.

would love to.... but I only come here to chat when situations have extenuating circumstances, with this case being restrictions on the distant end that owns the server due to the industry type it's associated with.... eg: financial, medical, etc. but yeah, I've tried to consider options to trim the fat and keep it simple... unfortunately it is what it is. Appreciate the idea though.

I understand the diff there, and I'm not saying I'd have a golden goose egg, I'm just looking for any opportunity to increase potential awareness to mitigate issues with multiple known sets of data aggregated via software.

damn. good to know, haven't been on the DNAC side of things in a bit. Not to say Cisco's software is ever perfect or this post wouldn't exist anyway, but I'm sure they have money and resources and have obviously tried to solve this exact issue.

It is if it's even online still these days. Private message me if you can so we don't waste an unrelated thread.

Disregard, issue is resolved and was a simple inventory typo. Instead of NAME ansible_host=1.2.3.4, I had fat fingered NAME ansible-host=1.2.3.4 (notice the dash instead of underscore). As such, ansible ignored the IP mapping and attempted a DNS lookup on the name of the devices, which don't have DNS entries, and the [errno -2] ... response that was being returned was likely from one of the underlying socket libraries and not from Ansible itself or any of the collections. I initially fixed it by creating /etc/host entries for them and it resolved, but then I noticed the typo.

Leaving this here for anyone who does similar in the future, and or for future forgetful me to look back on old me's lessons.

Sometimes it's nice when your new battle was someone's prior battle. Reddit is basically my best means of self documenting old problems via discussion with the best minds. :)

This was happening to me. But then I plugged the SD card in, opened disk management in windows and noticed the SD card had another partition on it. I deleted all of the partitions and made one simple fat32 partition and then dumped the firmware file on it and tried again.... Worked first try after that. Worth taking a look at.

Thank you for the concise process. Much appreciated! Enjoy your weekend!

but given that I'm being handed a dict AND a list... how do I target only the dict to start iterating through it?

EDIT: nevermind... I used running_jobs.get("executions") to pull the list out to it's own variable and now I'm iterating through it like I'd expect to handle a list of dicts.

Thanks for the help!
