What it is and what it does
genie.libs.health is a sub-component of the Genie testing framework that adds device health monitoring capabilities to pyATS. It allows you to monitor the health status of network devices, collect diagnostic information like tracebacks, and gather core files during test execution. The package integrates with Genie's modular architecture to provide health checks as part of automated test suites.
The package is part of Cisco's pyATS ecosystem, which is designed for data-driven and reusable network testing. It targets developers and system administrators building test automation for network infrastructure, particularly those already using Genie and pyATS. Installation is straightforward via pip, and the package maintains active development with recent releases.
Use it for
- Monitor device health status during automated network test execution to detect failures early.
- Collect core files and diagnostic data from network devices when errors occur during testing.
- Integrate health checks into pyATS test suites to validate device stability across test iterations.
- Gather device traceback information for post-test analysis and troubleshooting.
- Build automated health validation into CI/CD pipelines for network infrastructure testing.
