Please help to parse ALCATEL 7x50 SRx interface description

[levi]

Hi,

I have a few ALCATEL 7750 routers and i am able to successfully graph all ports/interfaces/services i need. But i wanted to add port descriptions to the graphs from the router itself.
The problem is that the router output of description field is as follows (from verbose query):

Code: Select all

+ Found item [ifDescr='1/1/1, 10/100/Gig Ethernet TX, MSRV01-1-2/41'] index: 35684352 [from value]

where:
1/1/1 - is port/interface number
10/100/Gig Ethernet TX - is port/interface type
and the last MSRV01-1-2/41 is actual description i gave in router

As i understood the output is comma separated and same logic applies to all interfaces/ports
Is there a way to parse the output and discard values from first two columns/commas and use the values from third column as a description?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Solution in python =

assume that variable "s" includes 1 line of the configuration
third_column = s.split(",")[2].split("'")[0].strip()

Please verify the format before, as if the line is in the wrong format it will crash.

Hope that helps,
Nik

Exactly the same problem...

I'm trying to parse it with regexp on the xml file too... but not results yet!
Now i have long titles, with some stuid information ( 10/100/Gig Ethernet TX )

good luck!
