please see rancid FAQ for various CVS FAQs and/or email to rancid-***@shrubbery.net with contents of the group's logs and the output of cvs update for the group.

can you include more information? Is it that rancid is not storing in
CVS, that your CVS check-out is not updating from your rancid info, or
other?

We have a linux server where in Rancid 3.1 and below is the cronjob (run as user pp71402)

***@neptune:(06-24 23:14): /root
# su - pp71402
***@neptune:(06-24 23:14): /users/pp71402/aws
# crontab -l
30 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /users/pp71402/public_html/netadmin/rancid.php
30 1 * * * /users/pp71402/rancid/bin/rancid-run
30 5 * * * /usr/bin/sudo /bin/chmod a+rw /users/pp71402/rancid/var/MA/configs/*
30 6 * * * /usr/bin/php /users/pp71402/public_html/netadmin/getinfo.php

So we can see that the rancid-run is scheduled to be run every night. But it's not downloading the configs for all the devices.

I have verified that I'm able to login to those devices via clogin without any issues, I have checked the router.db file and they are listed correctly.
Secondly routers.up files reports the devices as up. When I try to see the logs, the devices are not listed in it. So not sure what parameters/logs to check for further troubleshooting

Please approve this query, let me know if there are no updates on the device will it download the configs? I have scheduled rancid to run every night, but when I try to see the updates it now getting updated on a daily basis.

Need assistance on priority, as we are running on a production environment.

does clogin work when you su to username pp71402?

Hi Nick,

I'm so glad that you replied for this issue.
Yes, it works fine. I don't see anything in the logs for the failed devices. If there is no change in the decide config, does it skip downloading the config? If yes, where can see those skipped logs..

Thanks,
Vicky Ingle

rancid doesn't make a log entry if there are no changes to the device,
unless there is an error. The log files are there to record errors and
anomalies, not success.

It is true with cvs, svn, git, etc. that if there are no changes, then
there will be no commit into the version control. This is by design and
a good thing! It means you only get emails (if you enable them) when
there's a change, it also means that if you setup a websvn or webcvs
viewer, the choices for the device will only be for when there are new
changes made and you can see exactly what changed in the diffs and when
they happened.
