[rancid] Arista Spurious Diffs

[Troy Beisigl]

Hello Steve,

This is a common issue that it picks up on the changes in the folder where your logs are being written. Had this with Cisco FRP firewalls. You have to patch the PM being used to ignore that folder. In your case, it is the debug folder. In ours it was the log folder. Be warned, when we were looking at the Cisco PM, we found several instances of duplicate code. So if you make a change and it does not fix the issue, then you need to look for that same code farther down in the module.

Best,

-Troy
