[rancid] Reporting question.

[Chris Davis]

I was wondering. Is it possible to turn off some of the reporting features of RANCID? I'd like to turn off the hourly switch down reports for a couple of my switches. I am running 2.3.8. We have a few switches that do spend some time down, but we do want to get backups of them whenever they are available... I've never run across a way to do something like that, so I thought I'd toss it out to the crowd. Maybe I've just missed it?

Thanks.
Chris

there is a rancid.conf know, see rancid.conf(5), that sets the time after
which a collection is deemed stale. rancid 3.2 supports a per-group
rancid.conf that overrides the global settings.
