What it does:
Takes the yaml formatted output of the saltstack command salt "*" network.interfaces and turns the minion name and hardware address into a csv file for easy review within a spreadsheet
Why?
- Having a list of the salt names correlated to hardware addresses in a spreadsheet allows one to quickly search a network for a specific resource
Dependencies
- Requires python3.x
- Attempts to install the csv, tabular & rich libraries if not already installed
Input of the yaml file:
Screen Output:
Output of the salt_hw.csv file:
- Outputs a csv file with the computer name, and hardware address of all the devices seen in the yaml file
Updates
