Select devices based on configuration contents

Question

Hi There,

Is there a way of selecting devices based on the contents of the devices config?

For example. Say some (but not all) devices have a line of code

logging 10.10.10.1

and you want to change this to

logging 10.100.100.1

So what i would want to do is..

If "logging 10.10.10.1" exists in the config then delete it and add "logging 10.100.100.1"

Problem is, out 1000 devices I dont know which ones have this line present. Now i know i can query the config files to find the devices that have this line present. This would give me a long list of device names.

However, as far as i can tell this would then mean manually selecting these devices and applying the change. Not a problem with a small number but a bit of a pain if its 500.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Andy

If you do a config search, then highlight the results, then select NODES -- > EXECUTE COMMAND SCRIPT from the menu, you can execute commands on only the results from the search.  This should accomplish what you are asking.
