acs search

[Mary]

in acs, we manage around a few hundred devices, how to search the device list that with syslog enabled?

also I have one switch XYZ and 30 more switches, how to define syslog server name and trap for XYZ only? the rest 30 switches, i don't want to assign syslog server

Hi there,

ACS is a AAA platform used to manage system access, it is not a configuration management solution which it sounds like what you are after.

If you don't have one of those in place then your best bet is to write a script to parse the running config of your estate and return the lines containing logging host

cheers,

Seb.

can you show me the similar script?

[Seb Rupik]

OK, you're in luck. This is one of the first python scripts I wrote. It does require that all your running configs have been downloaded to a directory.

The script will parse all the configs for a search string of your choosing, and then group devices together depending on what results are returned:

To run it:

python grepDiff.py -s <search_term> -c <path_to_configs>

eg:

python grepDiff.py -s aaa -c C:\Users\srupik\PycharmProjects\srupik-apic-em-tools\helplessPottery\src\configs\

You can download the script here:

Incidentally if you want something to download all you configs to run the above script against, then I wrote one to do that. It does require that you have APIC-EM installed.
