napalm proxy not starting

[Petre Bandac]

hello,

after installing the napalm proxy i am having troubles making it run;
it crashes with the error below, although the napalm libs are installed.

could you please point me in the right direction for further analysing
this issue ?

thanks,

petre

Hi Petre,

[DEBUG   ] Could not LazyLoad napalm.grains: 'napalm' __virtual__ returned False: Please install the NAPALM library: `pip install napalm`!

This suggests you have an older version of the grains module.

[ERROR   ] Proxymodule napalm is missing an init() or a shutdown() or both. Check your proxymodule.  Salt-proxy aborted.
[INFO    ] Proxy Minion Stopping the Salt ProxyMinion
[ERROR   ] Proxymodule napalm is missing an init() or a shutdown() or both. Check your proxymodule.  Salt-proxy aborted.
[INFO    ] Shutting down the Salt ProxyMinion

Proxymodule napalm is missing an init() or a shutdown() or both. Check your proxymodule.  Salt-proxy aborted.

This one says that the napalm proxy module is missing.

Did you follow the notes from this section by any chance: https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm-salt#legacy-napalm-salt-installation

Because you shouldn’t :-)

…Unless you really have some constraints to use older versions of Salt.

Otherwise, I recommend you to install Nitrogen (2017.7), without any extension modules (everything is available in the official code base).

Cheers,

-Mircea

hi mircea,

no, i took the documentation from
https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm-salt#install-napalm

# for i in libffi-dev libssl-dev python-dev python-cffi libxslt
python-pip; do rpm -qa | grep $i; done
libffi-devel-3.0.5-3.2.el6.x86_64
python-devel-2.6.6-64.el6.x86_64
python-cffi-0.6-5.el6.x86_64
libxslt-devel-1.1.26-2.el6_3.1.x86_64
libxslt-1.1.26-2.el6_3.1.x86_64
python-pip-7.1.0-1.el6.noarch

the rpms are there, the pip packages too (with pip2.7, because it's an
old machine and default python is 2.6) - it's true i did an ugly trick
and symlinked a few python2.6 modules to the 2.7 folder, but in my
opinion they shouldn't be relevant for our discussion (MySQLdb,
M2Crypto, pygit2)

below the output from salt -V

which module exactly have i missed (or should be upgraded) ?

thanks,

petre

Check the napalm installation notes to see the system dependencies for each library: http://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/index.html#dependencies

For ease of use, if you are more comfortable with Salt, you can use this formula: https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/napalm-install-formula to install the libraries and their dependencies.

To check if the installation is correct, you can go through that checklist: https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm#faq

The error messages you paste suggest other problems however; as previously mentioned, you seem to be running older modules, not the official — in Nitrogen the error message has been changed to https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/develop/salt/utils/napalm.py#L91 for all napalm modules, while yours still says “Please install the NAPALM library: `pip install napalm`”, like in the previous versions…

hello mircea,

i got rid of "user: salt" in the proxy.d file and ran the proxy as root
- it works (at least it tries to connect to the nexus switch using
https, which is not yet enabled, but that's another story)

(regarding my error message below -
https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/develop/salt/proxy/napalm.py#L166
has exactly the same message, when unable to load the napalm module)

many thanks for your time,

petre
