This is a very simple example of how to generate configuration files based on templates.

In +TARGETS you can find the mapping between this template and the output it should generate.

Now lets retrieve some configuration data from the OPNsense configuration file:


last change date : {{ lastchange|default('unknown') }}
version according to config.xml : {{ version|default('?') }}

list of configured network interfaces :

{% for key,item in interfaces.iteritems() %}
    interface {{ key }}
    --- interface {{ item.if }}
    --- address  {{ item.ipaddr }}
    --- subnet  {{ item.subnet }}

{% endfor %}

and a short list of firewall rules created (multiple rule items in filter section):

{% for item in filter.rule%}
    descr : {{ item.descr }}
    type : {{ item.type }}
    interface : {{ item.interface }}

{% endfor %}

The full documentation for the template engine can be found at : http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/templates/

A sample with multiple output files ( for example based on interface ) can be found in the example_config.txt template

{% if helpers.exists('filter.rule') %}
    filter.rule exists
{% endif %}
