Synopsis
--------

.. Description

- Generates YAML configurations compatible with the 'network\_profile\_switching\_workflow\_manager' module, reducing the effort required to manually create Ansible playbooks and enabling programmatic modifications.
- Supports complete infrastructure discovery by collecting all switch profiles from Cisco Catalyst Center.
- Enables targeted extraction using filters (profile names, Day-N templates, or site hierarchies).
- Auto-generates timestamped YAML filenames when file path not specified.

.. note::
   - This module utilizes the following SDK methods site\_design.retrieves\_the\_list\_of\_sites\_that\_the\_given\_network\_profile\_for\_sites\_is\_assigned\_to\_v1 site\_design.retrieves\_the\_list\_of\_network\_profiles\_for\_sites\_v1 configuration\_templates.gets\_the\_templates\_available\_v1 network\_settings.retrieve\_cli\_templates\_attached\_to\_a\_network\_profile\_v1
   - The following API paths are used GET /dna/intent/api/v1/networkProfilesForSites GET /dna/intent/api/v1/template-programmer/template GET /dna/intent/api/v1/networkProfilesForSites/{profileId}/templates
   - Minimum Cisco Catalyst Center version required is 2.3.7.9 for YAML playbook generation support.
   - Filter priority hierarchy ensures only one filter type is processed per execution.
   - Module creates YAML file compatible with 'network\_profile\_switching\_workflow\_manager' module for automation workflows.
   - 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
