routercommander is the tool developed to automate the process of reproducing issues and the collection a large number of commands from a router or a series of routers. As in example of a taking router's health check, the health check might require to run more than 50 commands, doing it one by one is pure insanity, as it will consume significant time; copy and pasting all commands and pray that there is no any syntax error or pasted commands will be correctly accepted by a router is no better option. routercommander will execute each command, collect the output and stored it in the file with a router name and the time stamp as a file name. In addition, routercommander allows to extend a bit the collection process by introducing several controlling parameters. For example some commands might need to be executed several time and with a specific time interval between them. Some commands might have a required location keyword some not. All these particularities can be controlled from the commands YAML file. Please see below a sample of such file for show cef drop command. As it is clearly seen, this file defines show cef drops command. It also defines a number of times to execute it 2 as well as a time interval between in seconds 10. It also instructs routercommander to run it only against locations 0/0/CPU0, 0/1/CPU0 and 0/2/CPU0. the pattern keyword defines a pattern to detect an alarming condition, it is a part of a health check automation functionality which is still under the development.
