Has anyone already written a script to generate a nornir hosts/groups
file from netdisco?
Thank you.

Hi Eric
Not directly, but I recently discovered this Netdisco to Ansible
inventory tool:
<https://github.com/adambaumeister/netdisco_ansible_inventory>
This is also creates a similar YAML file with Netdisco contents, maybe
you can us it to get started.
Cheers
Christian

At the end of July I started a thread "pulling out Inventory via Python for
automation?" if you look in the mail archives. I still haven't gotten around
to getting something tested due to higher priority issues popping up, but the
answers people gave may help you.
Thanks,
Joseph B.

Exporting the data you want, hostname, dns or ip (or all), or anything else
like vendor/model/os is pretty easy with even some very rudimentary pgsql
and sql skill, and I use that term skill loosely at least for myself. I'm
an old network monkey, not a developer.
Logging into the db with psql (sudo su postgres && psql), entering the
netdisco db (\c netdisco), describing tables (\dt), doing some "select *
from xxx" different tables you learn and shows what you're looking for
where with minimal skill. Rest is modifying queries of the examples given
in the reporting part of docs to get out what you want, and in what
format. That I spent a half a day figuring out roughly how sql joins work
via furious googling and examples everyone's done a 1000x times already
decently enough to generate some of my own custom reports from queries. I
did this a few months ago, I've mostly already forgotten what I did, but
easy enough to pick back up if needed from examples I did of my own.
Using Nornir you should be able to invoke a python dbi to get the data out
easy enough if you learn to query what you want from where within the
netdisco db schema.
HTH!
