[rancid] Show tech on latest Procurve software

[Aleksander Vines]

That worked perfectly. Thanks for the fast reply.


For reference, if anyone else have issues with new procurve software, this is what I added:



# This routine parses "show tech transceivers"
sub ShowTechTransceivers {
    ...
    while (<INPUT>) {
        ...
        # These next two lines are new
        next if (/[A-Z][a-z][a-z] [A-Z][a-z][a-z] [0-9]+ [0-2][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9] 20[0-9][0-9]/);
        next if (/show time/);
        next if (/^(\s*|\s*$cmd\s*)$/);
        ...
}


Thanks,
Aleksander Vines

Yes, it's fairly easy to filter out individual lines by editing       the filter inside the perl scripts to make them go away. I have       done this many, many times. The only trick is that when you       upgrade you might lose your change, so save a copy or diff that       you can re-apply later.     
In this case, the place where you'd put the filter is in       ~rancid/bin/hrancid in the routine "ShowTechTransceivers"     
Right at the top where it has 'next if (...)'     
either above or below that you can add a line that says something       like next if (/thing I want to match here/) which will skip that       line.

Is there a way of altering the output of rancid, or which         commands it runs, or how the 'diff'ing' works?       

              
We seem to have a problem with the latest hp software, where         'show tech transceivers' seems to include a call to 'show time'.         Hence it notices a diff in the output timestamp and and it's         fairly annoying if you actually want to keep track of changes.
