When executing an NCM Action in an Orion alert, it would be handy if the action could preserve the command output's formatting. For instance, here is a typical command run from the CLI of a router:
show configuration interfaces t1-0/1/0:2:2
description "ID 1234";
enable;
encapsulation ppp;
t1-options {
bert-period 120;
}
unit 0 {
family inet {
filter {
group 10;
}
address 192.168.216.53/30;
}
}
Here's what the same information looks like when run from the NCM Action and included in an email:
show configuration interfaces t1-0/1/0:2:2
description "ID 1234";
enable;
encapsulation ppp;
t1-options {
bert-period 120;
}
unit 0 {
family inet {
filter {
group 10;
}
address 192.168.216.53/30;
}
}
This may not seem like a big deal, but it gets worse when you start adding in other 'show' commands that typically rely on space- or tab-based tables to show interface counters/errors or BGP summary information.
