Date and Time in Validity

[olivertwin]

hey guys, has anyone tried using date validation in the plugin?
i want to use date validation for license on routers

[amyasnikov]

Hey @olivertwin, I think it's possible. Do you want to check if your router license is about to expire?

[olivertwin]

I want to get current date and comapare it with routers expired date. If there is a few days (10-15 days) then I get fail test

[amyasnikov]

Well, this is definitely possible. You need to define a NameSet to import the required libraries (at least datetime).

The test generally should look like this:

datetime.strptime(device.state.show_license["expire_date"], "your_format_here") - datetime.now() > timedelta(days=15)

You can use django.utils.timezone.now() as well to get timezone aware datetime (timezone is set inside netbox settings)

Thanks. I'll try it now

from datetime import datetime, timedelta


def comparedelta(device):
    n = datetime.strptime(device.state.license["rt_licenses"]["expired"], "%Y-%m-%d") -  datetime.now() > timedelta(days=60)
    return n
__all__ = ["comparedelta","datetime","timedelta"]
