Using the Tests

All these tests can be imported in a catalog to be used by the ANTA CLI or in your own framework.

Atomic result support

Tests marked with the following badge in the documentation support Atomic Results:

This means that when anta nrfu <command> is run with the --expand flag (currently supported for table and text), the report expands the test results to show one entry per input.

For instance, consider the following inventory and catalog:

inventory.yml

---
anta_inventory:
  hosts:
    - host: 10.42.42.42
      name: pf1

catalog.yml

---
anta.tests.connectivity:
  - VerifyReachability:
      hosts:
        - destination: 8.8.8.8
          vrf: MGMT
        - destination: 8.8.4.4
          vrf: default

Normal Run:

Expanded Run:

Warning

If the command collection fails for any reason, the results for that test will not be expanded. This includes command collection failures based on known EOS errors tracked by ANTA.
