Re: [nv-l] dump devices script?

[Milton.W.Bridges@kp.org]

Karl:

ovobjprint is probably you best approach to view the contents of the object database.  You may try writing a PERL script that parses the contents of a file created by running ovobjprint.  This script should parse each line looking for the following "Selection Name" and "isRouter" (if TRUE).  Sorry, I don't have anything to offer as far as a script, but this may shed some light.

Hope this helps.

Hi list,
 
I've been searching around to see if there is a script available to dump
the contents of the object db to a flat file to save me starting from
scratch?  I need to filter to only include switches/routers (and maybe
servers one day) and only select a few fields for each device.
 
If anyone has a script that is post-able (directly if necessary), it
would be appreciated.  If not, I'm working on the basis that parsing the
output from ovobjprint is the best approach (no RIM / sql database I'm
afraid) - does anyone have a different view?
 
Any pointers much appreciated
 
Thanks
 
K
