I am new to Ansible and I am using it for network operations. So, I am extracting informations from network devices (software versions, platforms, hostnames, interfaces, system infos,…) and they are presented in a messy way that makes it hard to read or organise especially for an important number of devices.
I am asking if there is modules or something that Ansible can do to extract these informations to an excel file or maybe in a .csv file that can be structured. Anyone has an experience with the management and health check of network devices (Cisco and Juniper) using Ansible could help me out.
Ansible I believe natively doesn’t support write back to Excel. You can use some python scripts to write back facts/results from ansible to excel though. Actually that’s what I am also doing with Cisco Nexus devices.
About Napalm, need to explore if it really can write back to excel.
