rancid backup updated every time because of uptime

@jbilder reported the next issue:

Thanks for creating this script. It's been extremely useful in environments where i support these devices. One issue I have seems to be with the Uptime changing on the device, so it causes rancid to send diffs every hour:

!Unit Up time
!---- ---------------

! 1 253,00:32:08
! 1 253,01:32:09

Please let me know how to go about excluding these changes from updates.

Thanks!

@jbilder first of all I would suggest to use the updated csblogin and csbrancid files to ensure that this is not already solved (firstly backup your old ones and then override the old ones with the updated files).

If the problem appears with the new csblogin/csbrancid scripts, then let's verify what it is happening. These scripts uses three CLI commands to do the backup: show version, show version and show startup-config. One of these commands it causing the problem.

Nowadays, I don't have access this type of cisco switches. Could you post here the output of these commands (removing all sensitive data)? or at least provide the output of the previous command that produces the uptime output?

Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks!

Hi chrpinedo,

i facing the same issue ... thanks for the solution for sg500x family it runs like a charm!

how you would get the output, from any rancid debugging function or direct from the console?
if you prefer this from rancid then please tell me the command line, sorry i'm new on rancid.

regards
Falk

@fasa01 our scripts use three CLI commands to get the data: show version, show version and show startup-config. So, one of these commands it causing the problem. It would be nice if you could test these commands and provide the output of the problematic command (removing all sensitive data firstly). Thanks!!

are you shure that the first and the second command is 'show version' ?
;-)

show version is definitiv not the problem ...

the problematic output comes also not from 'show startup-config'

it comes from the /unknown/ ;-) 'show system'

the problematic part is the last part, i think this should be possible
to remove all begins with 'Up time' or 'Unit Up time', but i don't

Could you check the new proposed csbrancid file?
https://github.com/chrpinedo/rancid-cisco-sb/blob/fixes-14/src/csbrancid

thank's a lot for this try, but it looks as is it not the whole solution.

look on the rancid mail before the new version:

you can see the suppression goes only thru the end of the 'Up Time' line
... we need a suppression thru the end of the ShowSystem command block.

Thanks for your quick reply. Please could you attach the output of the "show system" command in a txt file? Because it is important to see the spaces, tabulars, ... This detail is lost pasting the output of "show system" in these posts.

It would be nice if you could attach txt files in one comment for the "show system" output and for the diff of your version control.

Thanks!

I think now is done. Could you test this file: https://github.com/chrpinedo/rancid-cisco-sb/blob/fixes-14/src/csbrancid? If it is ok I would update the master branch with this patch.

Hi,

there is still an issue with SG500X-48P with SW version 1.4.0.88:

chrpinedo commented

@xaok Could you print me the output of the "show system" CLI command for your SG500X-48P with SW version 1.4.0.88 as @fasa01 did it before? I could try to solve it.

Could you try this new csbrancid file https://github.com/chrpinedo/rancid-cisco-sb/blob/bug-avoid-uptime/src/csbrancid and provide the output obtained? Thanks,

xaok commented

seems to be working, no more new revisions are created just because of uptime change.

thx a lot for the nice work on cisco-sb and rancid!

chrpinedo commented

@fasa01, it would be nice if you could try this patch also (https://github.com/chrpinedo/rancid-cisco-sb/blob/bug-avoid-uptime/src/csbrancid) to verify that it continues working right with your devices.
