DIff email

Hello,

Was wondering would it be hard to add auto diff one each file every day and email if something is different.

I have something at work that does something like this. The issue is that it depends on knowing which lines to exlude from checking. For example, some systems update the timestamp at the top or bottom of the configuration, or the serial number changes if a failover event happens but the configuration is identical otherwise.

Maybe put in if statement that can be filled in if someone wants to use it

It'd need several fields to handle it all but it's not a bad request 👍

I have given this some more thought and we would need to verify that the file was a text readable file not a binary one. We couldn't obviously compare a binary file properly.

check out the latest develop and consider a daily diff email :)

Well, that would be interesting. Not for this weekend though.

understood... just a summary diff of each device post the scheduled run. note i said summary (diff and not sdiff) :)
