Display Network Map's Node information using Python/Flask

A simple python script to display Network Map's nodes information in a web browser.

What does it do

It displays the content of JSON endpoint from Network Map:

Prerequisites

• python 3

  plus python 3 packages:

  • flask
  • flask_table
  • configparser
  • json
  • os
  • requests

How to use

• git clone https://github.com/przemolb/networkmap-json
• cd networkmap-json
• add nmapjson.ini file with definitions of endpoints in the following format:

[short_name_1]
url=https://URL1/network-map/json/node-infos
description=Full description of environment_1

[short_name_2]
url=https://URL2/network-map/json/node-infos
description=Full description of environment_2

• run ./run.it
• click one of the available environments at the top of web page

Notes

• the nmapjson.ini file is being re-read every time you refresh a web page - no need to restart this application after adding new environments
• it is supposed to be run locally on your workstation/laptop - Flask builtin web server is not recommended to run in production
