Indented text not returned when using "netmiko_send_command"?

[zakhilton]

Hi Guys,

I am using nornir to manage manage some of my Avda FSP150 devices. When using a show command I am having an issue with returning all the output from the command, it appears that anything indented more than once seems to be ignored. For example if i run the below command i expect to get back the following output

command

show async-operation 26 async-job

Output

async-job:
  progress-tracking-type:
    unit: percentage
    total: 100
    current: 100
    remaining: 0
  state: finished
  description: Executing backup current database

However when i use netmiko_send_command everything between "async-job" and "state" is missing from the returned output.

Code

Local_backup_result = task.run(netmiko_send_command, command_string=f"show async-operation {Proccess_ID} async-job")
print(Local_backup_result.result)

Returned output

async-job: 
  state: in-progress
  description: Executing backup current database

Im fairly new to nornir / netmiko so any suggestions on resolving this issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

@zakhilton It looks to me like your async job is not done i.e. you are querying it too quickly so it hasn't finished. Maybe add some time.sleep() and query it again at a later time?
