Site Engine Python Scripting - VOSS Enable SFLOW

[dreader]

I am trying to get used to scripting but have not found anything that does what i want.

I want to send CLI commands to groups but have the %deviceIP built in to the script so it make changes as i need.

For example i was to enable SFLOW so i need to have the local IP in this config.

config terminal
sflow agent-ip %deviceIP
sflow collector 1 address x.x.x.x owner DEV-SiteEngine port 6343 timeout 497
sflow collector 2 address x.x.x.x owner PRD-SiteEngine port 6343 timeout 497
app-telemetry enable

I was also trying to see if there is anyway to do pip install commands to get more features in the scripts.

I've been trying to troubleshoot by adding regex as well but all i ever get is the same export from site engine.

not sure where you got the inspiration for this Python script. If you are using Python inside Site Engine, the CLI handling is much simpler.
