plugin command examples

[underdog]

Is it possible to have command examples added to the config examples (config.yml)?

@underdog what do you mean by plugin command examples? Are you trying to make a new plugin?

[underdog]

the use of the vaping command plugin.
like the example of at the bottom of most of the presentations "* ssh | display json is up to 10x
faster than SNMP on Juniper QFXs"
how was that command configured in the config.yml
what is the groups, hosts/host, plugin, data, etc..in the config.yml

thanks

I think I found one issue in command.py
it never inits self.hosts so it will error out when it tries to extend hosts list

self.hosts = [] is missing

def init(self):
    if 'command' not in self.config:
        raise ValueError('command is required')

    for name, group_config in list(self.groups.items()):
        self.hosts.extend(group_config.get("hosts",[]))

    self.command = self.config['command']

Any update on the issue in command.py?

Oh, sorry, I misread that.

The ssh | display json was never released, one of those things I just ran out of time on. :)

Could you give a stack trace on the self.hosts issue please?

I would be great if there are example configurations for all the plugins. For example I'm trying to use whisper to have historical data and I don't know how to configure it in the plugins section.
Or how, after configured, to acess the historical data.
