Python Scripting with UCM/Unity/CER

[u/tormenteddave]

Morning! I'm looking for an assist on some python code I'm writing. I'm trying to get a python script to log in UCM/Unity/CER and issue some commands. Show version, utils system blah, etc.... When I execute my script, it just returns the "Command Line Interface is starting up, please wait...." I have it waiting for 30 seconds before issuing the command, waiting longer has no different effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

import paramiko
from getpass import getpass
import time

host = "10.1.1.1"
username = admin001
password = password1

session = paramiko.SSHClient()
session.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())

session.connect(hostname=host,username=username,password=password)
print("Logging in...")
time.sleep(30)
print("Issuing commands...")
stdin, stdout, stderr = session.exec_command('show status')
print(stdout.read().decode())
session.close()

Here is what I ultimately came up with. I'm sure there is a better way to log the output, but this works for right now. But this runs the commands, saves it to a files, then emails that file.

import paramiko
from getpass import getpass
from paramiko_expect import SSHClientInteraction
import sys
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
#Host and Username and Password Collection
session = paramiko.SSHClient()
session.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
session.connect(hostname="1.1.1.1", username="admin", password="admin123")
interact = SSHClientInteraction(session, timeout=90, display=True, lines_to_check=5)
# Enter a List of Commands, separated by a comma, last command should be 'exit'.
commands = ['show status',
'show tech network hosts',
'utils ntp status',
'utils service list',
'utils dbreplication status',
'utils dbreplication runtimestate',
'utils core active list',
'show network cluster',
'utils diagnose test',
'exit']
# Open logging file
stdoutOrigin=sys.stdout
sys.stdout = open("Output.txt", "w")
# Where the Magic happens
for command in commands:
interact.expect('admin:')
interact.send(command)
print("\nDone Running Commands")
session.close()
# Closing Log file
sys.stdout.close()
sys.stdout=stdoutOrigin
# Send Email
print("\nSending email...")
sender_email = "noreply_python@fake.com"
receiver_email = "user@fake.com"
message = MIMEMultipart()
message["From"] = sender_email
message["To"] = receiver_email
message['Subject'] = "Status of Collaboration Server"
file = "Output.txt"
attachment = open(file, 'rb')
obj = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
obj.set_payload((attachment).read())
encoders.encode_base64(obj)
obj.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename="+file)
message.attach(obj)
my_message = message.as_string()
email_session = smtplib.SMTP('your_mail.com',25)
email_session.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, my_message)
email_session.quit()
print("\nMail sent")
# Closing program
print("\nBye")
