How to view components of active slice

[Gautam Sirdeshmukh]

Currently, users are able to view all available resources on the FABRIC framework through the advertised_topology method. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to view the specific resources of an active slice, even after digging through the API documentation on GitHub.

Is there a method or workaround to view the components of an active slice? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does the slivers method do it?

Like in this notebook: https://github.com/fabric-testbed/jupyter-examples/blob/master/fabric_examples/basic_examples/get_slivers.ipynb

Unfortunately not, the sliver_status method provides the name, site, capacities, states, and a lot of other information but not what the actual components are…

[Komal Thareja]

User should be able to get to the respective node components using the get_slice API:

`

status, topology = slice_manager.get_slice(slice_id=slice_id)

if status == Status.OK:
print(f”Properties: {topology.nodes[‘n1’].list_properties()}”)
print(f”Components: {topology.nodes[‘n1’].components}”)
print(f”Component: {topology.nodes[‘n1’].components[‘c1’]}”)
else:
print(f”Failed to get slice topology: {topology}”)

`

However, I think we have bug which is preventing the components from being listed in the output of the above snippet.

I think I have figured it out by using the topology.nodes structure with the get_property() method — I have included a screenshot showing some sample calls.

Thank you for your pointers!
