Custom script, config context or multiline log output

[mickmortensen]

Hi,

I am currently trying to make a custom script for our netbox installation, for when we deploy new switches. To this i would like to make it so we get default config with values we will enter with StringVar. I would like to either get this config put in the switch config context, if this is not possible we can also live with getting the config via the self.log_success message. I have gotten the script to output the config in the self.log_success, but i cannot figure out a way to line break the output.

Anyone who knows how i can get this to work?

Don't use log_xxx; your script can simply return a string, and this can contain newlines.

See the example, which returns a CSV file.

Config contexts aren't really intended for whole config files. They are JSON data intended to store parameters, which could be used to build a configuration. In theory, I suppose you could store

{"configuration":"some..very..long..string..with..the..whole..configuration"}

Maybe you'd be better off with a custom field, although I don't know if there's a maximum length for those.

Thank you very much for the help. I will look into getting it as an output instead of getting it in the log_success
