Rancid integration

Librenms can generate a list of hosts that can be monitored by RANCID. We assume you have currently a running Rancid, and you just need to create and update the file 'router.db'

Included Rancid script

To generate the config file (maybe even add a cron to schedule this). We've assumed a few locations for Rancid, the config file you want to call it and where LibreNMS is:

cd /opt/librenms/scripts/
php ./gen_rancid.php > /the/path/where/is/rancid/core/router.db

Sample cron:

15   0    * * * root cd /opt/librenms/scripts && php ./gen_rancid.php > /the/path/where/is/rancid/core/router.db

Now configure LibreNMS (make sure you point dir to your rancid data directory):

$config['rancid_configs']['core'] = '/the/path/where/is/rancid/core';
$config['rancid_ignorecomments'] = 0;

After that, you should see some "config" tab on routers that have a rancid update.
