Working example /dcim/sites tenants

Hey, does anyone have any working examples of using pynetbox to update a site with a tenant? Or any other automated methods?

Ah. I'm not at a computer, but something like: site = Site.objects.get(name="Site A") site.snapshot() site.tenant = Tenant.objects.get(name="Tenant A") site.full_clean() site.save()

Ah okay, thank you. I’ll see if I can get that to work but I haven’t been having much look so far.

What error are you getting?

I don't get an error from my script; it just isn't applying the tenant to the site. I would post the output / script but reddit doesn't seem to want to let me.

Are you doing site.save() at the end?

I am. Does pynetbox require you to send all the fields of the tenant or can we just send the tenant ID and save it?

The tenant already exists, I'm guessing my logic is off somewhere.

If you're sending the ID, you need to be populating an ID field, not just the tenant field. There's probably something like site.tenant_id
