[Netdot-users] Using API to search for IPBlock custom attributes

[Sparks, Alan (GSTS-SDO)]

I'm researching how I could implement something like the following in Netdot using pynetdot. Can't find any hints Googling, so...

I'm considering "tagging" IP blocks using the custom attributes functionality. For instance, to tag which region the block is assigned to, production or nonproduction, etc. Was looking for some way to search IP blocks then for those attributes, to find the specific container I need to allocate from.

I haven't been able to find anything on how (or if I could) search with pynetdot (or the API) for an ipblock with a given custom attribute name and value. Has anyone done that? Otherwise, it would appear I'd have to enumerate all the containers and their attributes and filter by hand. Was hoping there's a better way.

Any suggestions on what I might look at appreciated.

Hi Alan

I haven't tested this, but I think you could filter for the wanted
IpblockAttr and then get all subnets that have that attribute from that.

Kind regards
Matej
