Change a description of device interface with Python SDK/Module
Hi
I'm looking for a bit of guidance here. I would like to do the following;
- Get a list of devices so I can find a specific device
- Get the interfaces of that device
- Find a specific interface and change the interface description of that device. I also want to disable the feature "Allow Active Discovery to overwrite the description"
Any help, pointers appreciated. I just need some rough pointers to get me going in the right direction, thank you.
Here's how you would do it in the sdk, you'll need to provide the logic to sort through the data and find the one you want to update. Also, this only accounts for pagination on the device list. If your datasource count per device, or your instance count per datasource per device is higher than 1000, you would need to include pagination on those gets (you can use the same method i used on the get_device_list call).
from lm import lm #get the devices, find the id of the one we want #fetch items with pagination end_found = False offset = 0 size = 1000 devices = {} while not end_found: data = lm.get_device_list(size=size, offset=offset) devices.update({record.id: record for record in data.items}) offset += size end_found = len(data.items) < size for k,v in devices.items(): print(k, v.name) #your logic here to select the desired one from the result deviceId = 152 #get the datasources on that device, find the id of the one we want device_dses = lm.get_device_datasource_list(deviceId, size=1000).items for ds in device_dses: print(ds.data_source_display_name, ds.id) #your logic here to select the desired one from the result hdsId = 9571 #get the instances for that device, for that ds instances = lm.get_device_datasource_instance_list(deviceId, hdsId, size=1000).items for instance in instances: print(instance.id, instance.description, instance.display_name, instance.name) #your logic here to select the desired one from the result id = 146160818 #get the details for a particular instance instance_details = lm.get_device_datasource_instance_by_id(deviceId, hdsId, id) #update the description in the local copy of the instance instance_details.description = "Set by the python sdk" #send the update back to lm response = lm.patch_device_datasource_instance_by_id(deviceId, hdsId, id, instance_details) print(f"Description now set to {response.description}")
