This is something I have heard about in the past but never used. So this week, as finally decided to write a script to help me to find the peers of flapping ports, learned about pandas from first time. I used another script as “inspiration” and after seeing it was using pandas, I decided to read a bit about it and give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main type is the DataFrame<\/a>. In my head, pandas is just a library to deal with CSV, spreadsheets, etc like when you use a program like libreoffice. And this page<\/a>, gave me the hints for creating the query I wanted to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So at the end I have my very basic script<\/a> but saves me time logging to each device and find the peer port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, there are different ways to tackle this problem, but in my environment, the source of truth for links is in a file. You could have that info in the port description too, or in a database, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is something I have heard about in the past but never used.
