Using a Default Helper Script

  1. Leverage the helper script called "appviewx", which establishes database connection.
    Function name: db_connection
  2. Reuse the predefined helper script across other workflow scripts such as ‘Get device list’.
    Get device associate script
    import sys
import json
sys.path.insert(0, AVX::DEPENDENCIES)
sys.path.insert(0, AVX::HELPER)
import appviewx

def device_list():
    connection = appviewx.db_connection()  _--------------------------------> helper.helperfunction()
    collection = connection.appviewx.device
    dev_list = [value['name'] for value in collection.find({"vendor":"F5", "category" : "ADC"})]
    dev_list = sorted(filter(None,dev_list), key = lambda s: s.lower())
    print (json.dumps([{'Device': name} for name in dev_list])) if dev_list else (json.dumps({'error':"No Device to list"}))

device_list()
