Adding Show Commands to Snapshots
You can specify additional show commands to be captured in snapshots. These show commands are defined
in user-specified snapshot sections.
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Adds a user-specified section to snapshots. The section variable is
used to name the show command output. You can use any word to
name the section.
switch# snapshot section add
section "show-command"
row-id element-key1
[element-key2]
Step 1
The show command must be enclosed in quotation marks. Non-show
commands will not be accepted.
The row-id argument specifies the tag of each row entry of the show
command's XML output. The element-key1 and element-key2
arguments specify the tags used to distinguish among row entries. In
most cases, only the element-key1 argument needs to be specified to
be able to distinguish among row entries.
