Apologies if it isn't) When I'm trying to comprehend a new or complicated Cisco router, switch or firewall configuration an old pet-peeve of mine is how needlessly difficult it is to follow deeply nested logic in route-maps, ACLs, QoS policy-maps etc etc To make this a bit simpler I’ve been working on a perl script to convert these text-based configuration files into HTML with links between the different elements (e.g. To an access-list from the interface where it’s applied, from policy-maps to class-maps etc), hopefully making it easier to to follow the chain of logic via clicking links and using the forward and back buttons in your browser to go back and forth between command and referenced list.Way cool. Now to hook it into RANCID....
It looks like what I did in 2.3.8 should still work - control_rancid puts the diff output into $TMP.diff so add this bit: grep "^Index: " $TMP.diff | awk '/^Index: configs/{ if ( ! got1 ) { printf("/usr/local/bin/myscript.sh "); got1=1; } printf("%s ", $2) } END{ printf("\n") } ' >$TMP.doit /bin/sh $TMP.doit >$TMP.out if [ -s $TMP.out ] ; then .. send mail / whatever rm $TMP.doit $TMP.out fi Regards, Lee
