This is a plugin for the Nautobot SSoT plugin to pull selected data from EIP solidserver and merge it into Nautobot as IP Address and IP Prefix objects.
In addition to synchronizing the data, it adds the ID of the solidserver object to a nautobot custom field named solidserver addr id w/slug solidserver_addr_id and a string value.
It expects four statuses to be available - NO-IPAM-RECORD, Imported From Solidserver, Active, and Unknown.
Build the plugin
poetry build
Install the plugin
pip install nautobot-plugin-ssot-eip-solidserver
Update nautobot_config.py see configuration section
Restart nautobot
The constants file includes a default value for the SolidSERVER host and for the query limit size. Override them if needed. The host value should only get used if something has gone wrong loading the configuration.
The following should be added to your nautobot_config.py and updated for your environment. Ideally, the nnn_credential object is a secret injected at runtime and not hardcoded into your config, eg environment variable in a container.
'nautobot_ssot_eip_solidserver': {
"nnn_user": os.getenv("NAUTOBOT_SSOT_NNN_USER",
"SolidServer_Nautobot_User"),
"nnn_url": os.getenv("NAUTOBOT_SSOT_NNN_URL",
"https://solidserverinstance.example.com"),
"nnn_credential": os.getenv("NAUTOBOT_SSOT_NNN_CREDENTIAL",
"SUPER SECRET PASSWORD!")
},- nnn_user is expected to be a string containing a username.
- nnn_url is expected to be a string containing a url.
- nnn_credential is expected to be a string containing a password.
The default timeout of 120 seconds is enough for most queries, but larger queries may exceed the timeout. Jobs that exceed the default timeout will be killed by Nautobot and show up as failed with a "Query exceeded timeout!" error in the job log. Re-running the job with a narrower filter or a larger timeout should help, but be aware that exceeding the hard timeout limit from the nautobot_config will cause the job to fail no matter what.
The name filter is sometimes useful but also can be unreliable and will potentially delete valid records from Nautobot! If no fqdn is currently present on an address, it will not be found by the name filter and you may get job failures as the job tries to add an address that already partially exists. If you choose to use the name filter, do a dry-run first!
