Make directory called voss in /opt/stackstorm/packs…

mkdir voss

Change location to voss folder…

cd voss

Copy the following files to the folder: icon.png (Extreme Networks logo); pack.yaml; config.schema.yaml

Create sub-folder actions and copy the following files there: cmd.yaml; cmd.py (Python script)

Copy voss.yaml file to /opt/stackstorm/configs folder.

Note: Take care with indentation, whitespace characters and syntax when creating script and yaml files to avoid wasting time troubleshooting when installing packs.

Installing new voss pack…

git init && git add ./* && git commit -m “Initial commit”
st2 pack install file:///$PWD

Note: If something fails worth checking the file attributes allow access. Add permissions with sudo chmod 777 . -R.

Note: Can remove .git folder with sudo rm -r .git if need to rebuild by doing another git.

Execute Action (voss.cmd) which allows you to enter IP address of the switch and the command to use. For example, enter IP 192.168.1.2 (core switch 2) and pass command show autotop nmm will initiate SSH connection run the command and save the output to a file before closing the SSH session.

cat ‘Log file of 192.168.1.2’
