Synopsis
--------

.. Description

- Generates YAML playbooks compatible with the \ :literal:`discovery\_workflow\_manager`\  module by extracting existing discovery configurations from Cisco Catalyst Center.
- Reduces manual effort by programmatically retrieving discovery tasks including IP ranges, credential mappings, discovery types, protocol orders, and task-specific settings.
- Supports selective filtering by discovery name, discovery type, or discovery status to generate targeted playbooks.
- Enables complete infrastructure discovery through internal auto-discovery mode when \ :literal:`config`\  is not provided.
- Resolves credential IDs to human-readable descriptions and usernames for generated playbooks.
- Requires Cisco Catalyst Center version 2.3.7.9 or higher for discovery API support.

.. Notes

Notes
-----

.. note::
   - Requires minimum Cisco Catalyst Center version 2.3.7.9 for discovery API support.
   - Module will fail with an error if connected to an unsupported version.
   - Generated playbooks are compatible with the \ :literal:`discovery\_workflow\_manager`\  module for discovery task operations.
   - Credential IDs are automatically resolved to descriptions and usernames using global credentials API.
   - Discovery-specific credentials are excluded from generated playbooks for security reasons.
   - The module operates in check mode but does not make any changes to Cisco Catalyst Center.
   - Use \ :literal:`dnac\_log`\  and \ :literal:`dnac\_log\_level`\  parameters for detailed operation logging and troubleshooting.
   - SDK Methods used are - discovery.Discovery.get\_discoveries\_by\_range - discovery.Discovery.get\_discovery\_by\_id - discovery.Discovery.get\_all\_global\_credentials - discovery.Discovery.get\_all\_global\_credentials\_v2 - discovery.Discovery.get\_discovered\_network\_devices\_by\_discovery\_id
   - Paths used are - GET /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery/{startIndex}/{recordsToReturn} - GET /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery/{id} - GET /dna/intent/api/v1/global-credential - GET /dna/intent/api/v2/global-credential - GET /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery/{id}/network-device
   - Does not support \ :literal:`check\_mode`\ 
   - The plugin runs on the control node and does not use any ansible connection plugins instead embedded connection manager from Cisco Catalyst Center SDK
   - The parameters starting with dnac\_ are used by the Cisco Catalyst Center Python SDK to establish the connection
