Ah, great! I changed all NX devices to cisco-nx. This seems to fix the false alert
noise but now introduces a new problem for our Nexus 5000s e.g

   Trying to get all of the configs.
   nexus5k1-1: missed cmd(s): show cores vdc-all,show processes log vdc-all,show running-config
   nexus5k1-1: End of run not found
   !
   nexus5k1-2: missed cmd(s): show cores vdc-all,show processes log vdc-all,show running-config
   nexus5k1-2: End of run not found
   !
   nexus5k2-2: missed cmd(s): show cores vdc-all,show processes log vdc-all,show running-config
   nexus5k2-2: End of run not found
   !
   nexus5k2-1: missed cmd(s): show cores vdc-all,show processes log vdc-all,show running-config
   nexus5k2-1: End of run not found

All other Nexus devices work fine now (7Ks, 4Ks).

Any ideas ?
