Use Digidevice Runtime To Access The Runtime Database - Digi Connect IT 16 User Manual

Applications

Use digidevice runtime to access the runtime database

Use the runt submodule to access and modify the device runtime database.
Read from the runtime database
Use the keys() and get() methods to read the device configuration:
1. Log into the Connect IT 16/48 command line as a user with shell access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type shell to access the device shell.
2. At the shell prompt, use the python command with no parameters to enter an interactive
Python session:
# python
Python 3.6.12 (default, Jan 11 2021, 10:25:21)
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
3. Import the runt submodule:
>>> from digidevice import runt
>>>
4. Use the start() method to open the runtime database:
>>> runt.start()
>>>
5. Use the keys() method to display available keys in the runtime database, and use the get()
method to print information from the runtime database:
a. Print available keys:
>>> print(runt.keys(""))
This returns available keys:
['advanced', 'drm', 'firmware', 'location', 'manufacture', 'metrics',
'mm', 'network', 'pam', 'serial', 'system']
b. Print available keys for the system key:
>>> print(runt.keys("system"))
This will return the following:
['boot_count', 'chassis', 'cpu_temp', 'cpu_usage', 'disk', 'load_avg',
'local_time', 'mac', 'mcu', 'model', 'ram', 'serial', 'uptime']
