Hello Everyone,
I have a custom script which I use to add/update the devices.
Thanks in advance.
I have a custom script which I use to add/update the devices.
I have created a few custom fields recently. Please advise how should I write in the code to add/update custom field values.
Here's my code.

Which Netbox version are you using? For v2.10 or later it's straightforward, see

Hello Brian,
I'm on 2.8.5.
I have so many other scripts as well, not sure if I upgrade, how it will work with those scripts.

I do recommend you upgrade. The changes to custom fields in 2.10 were substantial (and a huge improvement), and handling custom fields prior to 2.10 was painful. The details are in the group archives, if you care to search: there was a separate model called CustomFieldValue that you had to manipulate explicitly, creating/updating/deleting instances of this model for each field value. Now the custom fields just sit directly on each object as a single JSON attribute.
It's true that upgrading may have knock-on consequences: the Django data model and REST API are not stable between versions. However as you're on 2.8 you've caught most of the big changes. Check the release notes for v2.9.0, v2.10.0, v2.11.0. The biggest issues I think you might hit are VMInterfaces in a separate model (2.9), and RackGroup changing to Location (2.11).

Hello All,
This is how I wrote the code to achive -
Owner = StringVar(
label = 'Owner',
description = "Enter the Owner detail of Device"
)
status_list = (
('active', 'Active'),
('inventory', 'Inventory'),
('planned', 'Planned'),
('reserved', 'Reserved'),
('staged', 'Staged'),
)
status = ChoiceVar(choices = status_list)
def run(self, data, commit):
device, created = Device.objects.get_or_create(
name=data['host_name'],
# owner=data['Owner'],
# ct = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Device),
# cf = CustomField.objects.get(obj_type=ct, name="owner"),
defaults={'status': data['status'],
'device_type': data['device_type'],
'device_role': data['device_role'],
'site': data['site_name'],
'tenant': data['tenant']}
)
deviceowner = Device.objects.get(name=data['host_name'])
if created == True and data['Owner']:
ct = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Device)
cf = CustomField.objects.get(obj_type=ct, name="owner"),
cfv, created = CustomFieldValue.objects.get_or_create(field=cf, obj_type=ct, obj_id=deviceowner.id)
if created == True:
cfv.value=data['Owner']
cfv.save()
self.log_success("Owner Added: {}".format(cfv))
else:
self.log_warning("Owner Addition Failed: {}".format(cfv))
Owner = StringVar(
label = 'Owner',
description = "Enter the Owner detail of Device"
)
tag = ObjectVar(
label = 'Tag',
description = "Please select [no_backup] if you wish to exclude the backing up of this device.",
queryset = Tag.objects.all()
)
status_list = (
('',''),
('active', 'Active'),
('decommissioning', 'Decomm'),
('inventory', 'Inventory'),
('offline', 'Maintenance'),
('planned', 'Planned'),
('reserved', 'Reserved'),
('staged', 'Staged'),
)
status = ChoiceVar(
required = False,
choices = status_list
)
def run(self, data, commit):
device = Device.objects.get(name=data['host_name'])
ct = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Device)
cfowner = CustomField.objects.get(obj_type=ct, name='owner')
cfvowner, created = CustomFieldValue.objects.get_or_create(field=cfowner, obj_type=ct, obj_id=device.id)
#if created == True and data['Owner']:
if data['Owner']:
cfv.value=data['Owner']
cfv.save()
self.log_success("Owner Added: {}".format(cfv))
else:
self.log_warning("Owner Addition Failed: {}".format(cfv))
if data['device_role']:
device.device_role = data['device_role']
device.save()
self.log_success("Device Role `{}` set for **{}**".format(device.device_role, device))
if data['device_type']:
device.device_type = data['device_type']
device.save()
self.log_success("Device Type `{}` set for **{}**".format(device.device_type.display_name, device))
if data['platform']:
device.platform = data['platform']
device.save()
self.log_success("OS/Platform `{}` set for **{}**".format(device.platform, device))
if data['status']:
device.status = data['status']
device.save()
self.log_success("Device **{}** set to status `{}`".format(device, device.status))
if data['tag']:
device.tags.add(data['tag'])
device.tag = data['tag']
device.save()
self.log_success("tag `{}` set for **{}**".format(device.tag, device))
Just incase anyone faces the same issue, they could also write the code the way I wrote.
