NXOS - Show Version - Parser does not pull out all data

# * NXOS *

For reasons I can't fathom, the nxos parser does not always seem to identify / pull out the system version correctly.

I would have thought there'd be a ["platform"]["software"]["system_version"] key & value in the Python dict of the example below, but there is not.

Sample CLI output and corresponding Parser output follow.

Hi Richard,

Tried it from my end we can fetch the system version under ["platform"]["software"]["system_version"]
Could you let me know which pyats version are you using?

}

Hi Richard, Did you try again to verify the above?
The 'show version' parser fetches the 'system version'. Please check and confirm.

Thank Youi

Apologies – I went too soon on my request here. I’m actually using the radkit_genie version of genie and I hadn’t realised it was pegging me to an older release. I had assumed that latest RADKit ~= latest Genie, and I was quite wrong. Please disregard this issue.

Hi Richard,
Thank you. Hence, I will be closing this issue.

Hello, I am experiencing a similar issue, though in this case the device_name does not get picked up by the parser.
