<p>Yes, it's fairly easy to filter out individual lines by editing
the filter inside the perl scripts to make them go away. I have
done this many, many times. The only trick is that when you
upgrade you might lose your change, so save a copy or diff that
you can re-apply later.</p>
<p>In this case, the place where you'd put the filter is in
~rancid/bin/hrancid in the routine "ShowTechTransceivers"</p>
<p>Right at the top where it has 'next if (...)'</p>
<p>either above or below that you can add a line that says something
like next if (/thing I want to match here/) which will skip that
line.</p>

<div>Is there a way of altering the output of rancid, or which
commands it runs, or how the 'diff'ing' works?</div>

<div>We seem to have a problem with the latest hp software, where
'show tech transceivers' seems to include a call to 'show time'.
Hence it notices a diff in the output timestamp and and it's
fairly annoying if you actually want to keep track of changes. </div>
