Config Templates Overview
What config templates are on the NetStacks Controller, how they relate to stacks and deployments, and how to create your first template.
Template Syntax (MiniJinja)
The Jinja-style syntax NetStacks config templates support: variables, conditionals, loops, filters, tests, and the differences from Python Jinja2.
Variables
How NetStacks detects template variables, how values are typed (strings, numbers, lists), and where values come from when you deploy.
Version History
How NetStacks versions config templates, how to view and restore an earlier version, and how template changes reach stacks.
Preview & Rendering
Preview config templates with test values, preview a whole stack instance per device, and render Jinja document templates in the Terminal.
Example Templates
Three complete Cisco IOS-XE config templates (access port VLAN, NTP and logging, SNMPv2c with an ACL) with their variables, sample values, and rendered output.
