This is in Roadmap.
But not shortly

In the meantime, add a Linux node with engine like ansible/napalm ans use it like in real network....

Hi. Obviously this is your personal choice how you do this but I added Ansible into the EVE-NG Ubuntu host: https://sipart.github.io/2017-09-04-notes/

To ensure separation of dependencies and possible issues with the EVE-NG host setup then as above it would be ideal to create a Linux host in your lab and use that as the automation host.

I do not expect the EVE-NG team to support (not that I 'expect' any support anyway is it's a community edition) any issues that arise due to me or you ‘adding’ to the EVE-NG host packages that may affect the smooth running of the EVE-NG server.

I had thought about creating an automation host image (like this GNS3 one: https://gns3.com/marketplace/appliance/ ... automation) so I can add a host with less effort but for the moment having Ansible and dependencies added to the EVE-NG server base OS works well for me – your mileage may vary and don’t cry to EVE-NG developers if you break something by doing this :-)

Cheers
