For the month of May, I am doing a guest blog on CISCO Subnet. I will be discussing various topics around data visualization. You should stop by and check it out. If you have any topics that you are interseted in, let me know as well.

I just came across this list of command to capture the state of a CISCO router. I wanted to capture this and maybe inspire someone to build an application for Splunk. It would be interesting to build a set of expect scripts that go out and capture this information in Splunk. You can then use the information for forensics, but also for change management. By building alerts you could even alert on unauthorized or potentially malicious changes. If you are interested in building an application, let me know. I’ be happy to help.
