  • 1.  How to write SLAX result tree to STDOUT in XML format?

    Posted 09-16-2015 07:18

    I work with the following slax op script:

    ---snip---

    version 1.0;

    ns junos = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/*/junos";
    ns xnm = "http://xml.juniper.net/xnm/1.1/xnm";
    ns jcs = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/commit-scripts/1.0";

    import "../import/junos.xsl";


    match / {
      <op-script-results> {
        var $ping-target = "10.1.1.1";
        call pinger($ping-target);
            }  
        
    }

    template pinger($ping-target) {

       /* ping the target   */  
        var $ping-rpc = {
            <ping> {
                   <host> $ping-target;
                   <count> "1";
                   }
        }

            var $ping := jcs:invoke($ping-rpc);
        <output> $ping;

    }

    ---snap---

     

    When running it as "op ping.slax", I get the following output:

    user@juniper> op ping2                 
    10.1.1.1
    10.1.1.1
    56

    1
    0
    100

    no response

    {master:0}
    user@juniper>

     

    Even when running it as "op ping2 | display xml", I'm just getting

    user@juniper> op ping2 | display xml   
    <rpc-reply xmlns:junos="http://xml.juniper.net/junos/12.3R6/junos">
        <output>
            10.1.1.1
            10.1.1.1
            56
           
            1
            0
            100
           
            no response
        </output>
        <cli>
            <banner>{master:0}</banner>
        </cli>
    </rpc-reply>

    {master:0}
    user@juniper>

     

    How can I get the output in XML format?

     

    Thanks,

    Stefan

     


    #result
    #xml
    #Slax
    #output
    #Tree

    If you want the raw XML, use

      copy-of $ping

    instead of

      <output> $ping

    For some reason copy-of does not seem to work for me.

    ---snip---

    % vi ping1.slax
    version 1.0;

    ns junos = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/*/junos";
    ns xnm = "http://xml.juniper.net/xnm/1.1/xnm";
    ns jcs = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/commit-scripts/1.0";

    import "../import/junos.xsl";

    match / {
      <op-script-results> {
        var $ping-target = "10.1.1.1";
        <output> "Vorher";
        call pinger($ping-target);
        <output> "Nachher";
            }

    }

    template pinger($ping-target) {
       /* ping the target   */
        var $ping-rpc = {
            <ping> {
                   <host> $ping-target;
                   <count> "1";
                   }
        }

    /*    var $ping := jcs:invoke($ping-rpc);   */
          copy-of jcs:invoke($ping-rpc);
    /*    <output> $ping;   */
    /*    expr jcs:output( $ping );   */
    /*      copy-of $ping;   */

    }

    ---snap---

     

    I tried both "copy-of $ping;" as well as "copy-of jcs:invoke($ping-rpc);".

     

    What am I missing?

     

    Thx,

    Stefan

    Add-on: Actually I get no output at all when using copy-of...

    Works for me:

    Here's my edited version:

    version 1.0;
    ns junos = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/*/junos";
    ns xnm = "http://xml.juniper.net/xnm/1.1/xnm";
    ns jcs = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/commit-scripts/1.0";
    import "../import/junos.xsl";
    match / {
      <op-script-results> {
        var $ping-target = "192.168.131.2";
        <output> "Vorher";
        call pinger($ping-target);
        <output> "Nachher";
      }
    }
    template pinger($ping-target) {
       /* ping the target   */
        var $ping-rpc = {
            <ping> {
                   <host> $ping-target;
                   <count> "1";
                   }
        }
        var $ping := jcs:invoke($ping-rpc);
        copy-of jcs:invoke($ping-rpc);
    }

    I had to edit to test on my vsrx.  Here's what I got when I ran::

    regress@vsrx-3>
    

    As a practical note: consider specifying a time-out on the ping, else your script will appear to hang...

    Can this be done via python also?
