Nornir - Archiving Telemetry

This code is based off my video: "Nornir (Python Network Automation) | Archiving Telemetry", which can be found here

Personal thank you and shout out to Stuart Clark @bigevilbeard for his contributions and help!

Dependencies

pip3 install nornir

Use Case Description

This script uses Nornir to collect a selection of chosen "show commands" in order to gather network statistics. The script will first create an archive folder named "config-archive", and within that a range of date-stamped subfolders - one for every day the script is deployed. Inside each day there will exist an individual folder created for every show command entered containing its output - allowing network administrators to easily document, reference and compare the network's health and performance on a day-by-day basis. The script can be easily edited to include the show commands of your choice, as shown in the video demonstration.

Once Nornir is installed, you can execute the script by simply entering:

python3 archive-shows.py
