Obtain all information present on Infoblox using WAPI [ Edited ]

[#1]

Hi

Apologies if this question has already been covered.I am new to Infoblox and I am trying to get a dump of the data on Infoblox and then extract the DHCP networks along with selected extensible attributes.The documentation is not really helping me get through much as I am really new at this.I am trying to use Python 3 and v2.5 documentation for WAPI.I would really appreciate some help to get started.

Trying to get the dump in either json or csv format.

Thank You.

Hello,

If what you need is just all the DHCP Networks information along with EAs, why not export the data directly from the UI? Have you already tried that?

In the latest NIOS versions, you could also use the CSV Job Manager for Data Export.

Firstly,thank you for the reply.

I have tried out the feature and it works well.But I am trying to experiment and have a task to do the same using API calls.It has to be a  more programmatic approach.

If you could help me with that,I would really appreciate it.

WAPI:

https://<Grid Master IP>/wapi/v1.6/network?_max_results=10000&_return_fields=comment,disable,members,enable_ddns,network,extattrs

Sample Output:

<value type="object">
<network>1.1.1.0/24</network>
<enable_ddns type="boolean">true</enable_ddns>
<disable type="boolean">false</disable>
<members>
<list>
<value type="object">
<ipv4addr>10.192.33.36</ipv4addr>
<name>infoblox.localdomain</name>
<_struct>dhcpmember</_struct>
</value>
<value type="object">
<ipv4addr>10.192.33.68</ipv4addr>
<name>infoblox3.localdomain</name>
<_struct>dhcpmember</_struct>
</value>
</list>
</members>
<extattrs type="object">

This is actually yielding quite a lot of information,Thanks.

Is there someway I can extract the IPAM Utilization and IPv4 Utilization along with the remaining external attibutes?

DHCP Utilization for DHCP networks

https://10.192.33.220/wapi/v2.5/network?_max_results=10000&_return_fields=comment,disable,members,enable_ddns,network,extattrs,dhcp_utilization

DHCP Utilization of 10.192.32.0/24/

https://10.192.33.220/wapi/v2.5/network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMTkyLjMyLjAvMjQvMA:10.192.32.0/24/default?_max_results=10000&_return_fields=comment,disable,members,enable_ddns,network,extattrs,dhcp_utilization

IPAM Utilization

https://10.192.33.220/wapi/v2.5/ipam:statistics?_max_results=10000&_return_fields=network,utilization

Sample Output:

<value type="object">
<network>10.192.3.0</network>
<utilization type="int">1000</utilization>
<_ref>
ipam:statistics/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMTkyLjMuMC8yNC8w:default/10.192.3.0/24
</_ref>
</value>
<value type="object">
<network>1.1.1.0</network>
<utilization type="int">3</utilization>
<_ref>
ipam:statistics/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMS4xLjEuMC8yNC8w:default/1.1.1.0/24
</_ref>
</value>

Notice the values 1000 for 10.192.3.0 and 3 for 1.1.1.0. To get the exact utilization, you would want to simply divide that value by 10. Therefore, in the above, IPAM utilization on network 10.192.3.0 is 100% and 1.1.1.0 is 0.3%.

Can the ipam statistics be merged with the rest of the external attributes?

Such that all of the data is obtained as a single set of results
