About Skyline.DataMiner.ConnectorAPI.Arista.Manager

Skyline.DataMiner.ConnectorAPI.Arista.Manager is a package available in the public nuget store that contain assemblies to communicate with a Arista Manager switch in DataMiner.

This library will retrieve information from the DataMiner system to give information on the Arista switch and provide functions to perform actions on the connector.

About DataMiner

DataMiner is a transformational platform that provides vendor-independent control and monitoring of devices and services. Out of the box and by design, it addresses key challenges such as security, complexity, multi-cloud, and much more. It has a pronounced open architecture and powerful capabilities enabling users to evolve easily and continuously.

The foundation of DataMiner is its powerful and versatile data acquisition and control layer. With DataMiner, there are no restrictions to what data users can access. Data sources may reside on premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid setup.

A unique catalog of 7000+ connectors already exist. In addition, you can leverage DataMiner Development Packages to build you own connectors (also known as "protocols" or "drivers").

Requirements

The "DataMiner Integration Studio" Visual Studio extension is required for development of connectors and Automation scripts using NuGets.

See Installing DataMiner Integration Studio

[!IMPORTANT] NuGets are mandatory to be installed with PackageReferences. DIS was redesigned to work with PackageReferences and be future-proof.

For more information on how to migrate from packages.config to PackageReferences, see docs.microsoft.com.

Getting started in Automation

You will need to add the following NuGet packages to your automation project from the public nuget store:

• Skyline.DataMiner.ConnectorAPI.Arista.Manager
• Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Automation

Example script could look as following:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Automation;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Automation;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Common;
using Skyline.DataMiner.ConnectorAPI.Arista.Manager;

	/// <param name="engine">Link with SLAutomation process.</param>
	public void Run(Engine engine)
	{
		// Get the arista object for the Element with name 'mySwitch' from the DM system.
		IDms thisDms = engine.GetDms();
		IAristaManager myArista = thisDms.GetAristaManager("mySwitch");

		// Change settings on interface 'Ethernet1'
		var myInterface = myArista.Interfaces.First(i => i.Name == "Ethernet1");
		myInterface.Settings.AddVlan(200).SetAdminState(true).Push();

		// Execute raw commands on the switch and wait for the result for max two min
		string result = myArista.Explorer.SendCommand("show clock", TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2));
	}
