All,
I have submitted a pull request to the Ansible core project that enables a new Ansible filter called parse_genie. It uses the Genie library (and pyATS) to parse over 500 CLI commands across IOS, IOS-XE, NX-OS, and IOS-XR. It will return structured data that is OS-agnostic and it conforms to well-defined data schema models.
I want to make sure it gets merged, but I need your help. If you think this is a good feature and want it in Ansible, please go to the pull request and give it a thumbs up so the Ansible core maintainers know that the community wants this new plugin.
