# CRTOnboard V2.0

Bulk import and organize Secure CRT Sessions from a CSV

Support has been added for arguments as well as creating a Class for a CRT object.
The script can now be more easily executed as well as referenced from other programs such as a future simple GUI.

CRTOnboard takes a source csv file and creates a directory of of SecureCRT sessions.

This allows you to bulk create many sessions in an organized and consistant way. You can also use exports from NAC, Solarwinds, Cisco Prime, or other software to build your import lists.

To create a new source csv file, use the following headers in your CSV or the included template: HOSTNAME,HOST_IP,USERNAME,BUILDING,IDF

Optional arguments:

• -h, --help show this help message and exit
• -c CLIENT, --client CLIENT Name of the client
• -f FILE, --file FILE Enter file name for source CSV
• -p PATH, --path PATH Optional enter destination path for session folder

How do I use it?

• Execute script providing arguments. Be advised, your directory slashes may need to be escaped.
• Edit CRTOnboard.py path variables for your respective SecureCRT Session library. The path variable is: - root_path
• Add your network devices to the the crtsource.csv file as completely as possible.
• Execute crtonboard.py and follow on screen prompts.
• You may need to close and relaunch SecureCRT to populate the list
• Log files are stored in each created directory so they can be easily located.

crtonboard's Issues

Session logging not configured if no building is defined in source csv

If you don't fully fill out the csv sheet, no logs directory will be created at the customer root folder and the log file path will not be properly updated.

Log Directory Folder Not Being Named Properly

Each CRT session creates a log file with a defined path. The Client path variable doesn't get updated in the .ini file properly

Logging not properly configured if no building configured in source csv

Logging directory will not be created or properly configured in ini file if no building is configured in source csv
