Synopsis
--------

.. Description

- Generates YAML configurations compatible with the pnp\_workflow\_manager module for brownfield infrastructure discovery and documentation.
- Retrieves existing PnP device information from Cisco Catalyst Center PnP inventory including serial numbers, hostnames, device states, product IDs, and SUDI requirements.
- Transforms API responses to playbook-compatible YAML format with parameter name mapping and structure optimization for Ansible execution.
- Supports device state filtering for targeted device discovery.
- Enables automated brownfield discovery by retrieving all registered PnP devices when \ :literal:`config`\  is omitted.
- Creates structured playbook files ready for modification and redeployment through pnp\_workflow\_manager module.
- Extracts essential device attributes without site assignments, templates, projects, or advanced configuration parameters.
- Supports extraction of both claimed and unclaimed devices across all PnP workflow states.

Notes
-----

.. note::
   - SDK Methods used are - device\_onboarding\_pnp.DeviceOnboardingPnp.get\_device\_list
   - Paths used are - GET /dna/intent/api/v1/onboarding/pnp-device
   - Minimum Catalyst Center version required is 2.3.7.9 for PnP device APIs.
   - Module performs read-only operations and does not modify Catalyst Center configurations.
   - Generated YAML files contain only device\_info section with basic device attributes.
   - Site assignments, templates, projects, and advanced parameters are not included in output.
   - Module supports both check mode and normal execution mode with identical behavior.
   - Generated playbooks are compatible with pnp\_workflow\_manager module v6.40.0+.
   - Device transformation skips devices missing required fields (serial\_number, pid).
   - Operation tracking includes success and failure details for all processed devices.
   - Device state defaults to "Unclaimed" when not provided by API response.
   - Authorization flag set to True when authOperation requires authorization.
   - 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
