error for config-backup Cisco ASA 5510/5520

[lionelseydoux]

Hi,
I get an error in the perl Expect.pm file when backuping ASA devices.
Any ideas where it comes from?

I never tested it with ASA. Also probably some of your INI files miss
something. If I would get remote access to your server, I could probably
diagnose it.

Hi,

thanks for you fast answer. I've made some troubleshooting and found which code line generates the errror (line 577 in $GERTYHOME/lib/gerty/perl/Gerty/Job.pm):
it never goes out of the call to init()...
I first of all thought it was because of the space following the prompt on the ASA:
Zug-FWL-01> en
Password: **********
Zug-FWL-01# sh run

That's why I tried to modify the regex prompt to accept trailing spaces:
cli.user-prompt = ^\S+>\s*
cli.admin-prompt = ^\S+#\s*

but I still get the same error I'll see how I can organise a remote access through teamviewer.

best regards,

Job.pm:

   ...
    my $acc = $dev->{'ACCESS_HANDLER'};
    my $connect_failure;


    if( not  $acc->connect())
    {
        $connect_failure = {
            'success' => 0,
            'content' => 'Failed to connect to ' . $dev->{'SYSNAME'}
        };
    }
    elsif(not $action_handler->init() )   # <-- this line causes the problem
    {
        $connect_failure = {
            'success' => 0,
            'content' => 'Failed to initialize connection to ' .
                $dev->{'SYSNAME'}
        };
    }
    ...

This is what I do for Cisco ASA:

commands =<<EOT
    inherit = Gerty.CiscoIOS
    cli.user-prompt = ^.*>
    cli.admin-prompt = ^.*#
    pager-off.command = terminal pager 0
    do.config-backup = 1
    config-backup.exclude =
    +cli.command-actions = show-version, show-inventory
    do.show-version = 1
    show-version.path = ${datapath}/output
    show-version.command = show version | exclude (days)
    do.show-inventory = 1
    show-inventory.path = ${datapath}/output
    show-inventory.command = show inventory
EOT
