[rancid] Re: Historical logs

[Steve Ousley]

Hi, this is great.  I have installed this on my machine, but when I go to
http://server/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ I just see the folder CVSROOT/ and in there I
do not see any of the files that have been downloaded.  Is there a setting
somewhere that I need to enable to ensure that this goes into CVS?

You can generate any given previous configuration from the CVS repository.
Rather than doing this via command line you may wish to install the
excellent CVSweb on your rancid box:
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html  This will allow you to browse
through config changes over time, produce graphical diff's, and download old
configs.

 

It really does bring rancid to life!

Hi

 

I have just installed RANCID on my machine, and have it collecting data from
one firewall.  What I would like is some kind of differential on this
however as it seems to simply overwrite the old configuration with the new
one.

 

I have read the documentation that I can find, and cannot see anything about
keeping old versions of the log files.  The reason for wanting this is that
the firewall config often gets changed and there is the possible requirement
that we will need to roll back the config a few days.

 

Many thanks for any help anyone can provide.
