Backing up configs is the most important feature of NCM, and the selling point for us is simplicity. However after setting up diff emails i'm noticing garbage
Particularly '[m' and '[33m' and some others seem to be getting injected into random area's of the config, but then correct themselves. Generating constant diffs when nothing has actually changed
i.e.
add bridge="Client PPPoE Bridge" horizon=10 interface=\ | add bridge="Client PPPoE Bridge" horizon=10 [minterface=\ |
"ether2.10 - Client PPPoE" | "ether2.10 - Client PPPoE" |
add bridge="Client PPPoE Bridge" horizon=10 interface=sfp1 | add bridge="Client PPPoE Bridge" horizon=10 interface=sfp1 |
....
....
add address=172.17.6.60 client-id=1:24:18:1d:54:6b:b9 mac-address=\ | add address=172.17.6.60 client-id=1:24:18:1d:54:6b:b9 mac-address=\ |
24:18:1D:54:6B:B9 server=[mXanDHCP | 24:18:1D:54:6B:B9 server=XanDHCP |
add address=172.17.6.26 client-id=1:0:4:56:ea:73:7f mac-address=\ | add address=172.17.6.26 client-id=1:0:4:56:ea:73:7f mac-address=\ |
....
....
add network-type=broadcast passive=yes | add network-type=broadcast passive=yes |
add dead-interval=4s hello-interval=1s interface[m=ether1 network-type=\ | add dead-interval=4s hello-interval=1s interface=ether1 network-type=[34;1m\ |
point-to-point retransmit-interval=2s | point-to-point retransmit-interval=2s |
This immediately kills NCM as a product for us unless there's a simple fix, the whole idea of it is to take these little headaches away so we don't have to build our own platforms. I expected mikrotik backups to 'just work' as its listed as officially supported
Anyone experiencing this and have a resolution?
This happens for a bunch of our routers, not just 1 or 2 in particular
Additionally we need NCM to ignore lines starting with #, again I figured this should be part of the 'officially supported' device profile. At the top of the config export is always time and date, this differs every time a backup is run and thus generates a diff which I don't want. How do I specify characters to ignore?
