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.

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

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.

My HPs aren't new enough to show the time field.
But it looks innocuous enough.
