I've gotten a trial install of rancid going on my network now checking about 20 devices (all cisco, switches, routers, and two pixes). My question is... now what?<br><br>For instance, in my old setup (pancho/snmp/tftp based) I had a copy of running config sitting in a tftp root, which made it easy to "copy tftp run" from a device to restore a config. How do you guys address this in rancid? I notice that since what rancid stores in cvs is one giant file, I'd have to write a script to parse out the parts I want. Is there a community site of some sort where scripts like these are posted?
<br><br>Also, has anyone done any integration work with syslog so that rancid will automatically run against a device when a log message about its config changing comes in?<br><br>Mostly I'm just trying to avoid as much re-inventing of the wheel as possible, so I'm hoping to find documentation, tips, best practices, and scripts that may already exist.
