cisco-log-to-json-parsing

To parse Cisco switch logs into JSON, you can use a parser that processes terminal outputs from commands like show version, show inventory, and show cdp to generate structured devices.json and topology.json files for network discovery.

Yes, you can convert show cdp and show vlan brief outputs across IOS, IOS-XE, and NX-OS platforms. The parser applies specific rules to extract device data, VLANs, and CDP neighbors from these varied Cisco CLI environments.

The best way to extract interface status and CDP neighbor details from raw CLI text is using a parsing tool that structures this data into cohesive JSON payloads, covering interfaces, trunks, port_channels, and sfp_modules.

No, you do not need external dependencies to parse Cisco terminal outputs. The parsing logic for extracting device data and topology utilizes Python's standard library, requiring no additional package installations.

Parsing Cisco show version and show inventory commands generates ready-to-consume JSON payloads, specifically devices.json and topology.json, which model devices, interfaces, ip_interfaces, and sfp_modules for documentation.
