CLI output filter

L0 Member

Hello,

I would like to know if there's way how to "chain" multiple variables after pipe in some command to filter the output, something like:

<command> | match <param1>|<param2>

For example:

show running security-policy | match index|source|destination|application

 

I tried to play around with quotation marks, brackets and so on but did not get it working, only with one variable. And I consider something like that one of very basics for efficient CLI use.

Any idea how to get thsi working?

Thanks in advance!

You can use this syntax:    show command | match param1\|param2 

 

The key is the \| between parameter1 and parameter2.  Here's "show system info" only showing the lines including "ipv6" or "wildfire" (bold added for emphasis):

 

admin@pa0-black_knight(active)> show system info | match ipv6\|wildfire

ipv6-address: unknown

ipv6-link-local-address: fe80::250:56ff:fe82:7c03/64

ipv6-default-gateway:

wildfire-version: 235397-237863

Hi,

This is great info, thank you!

By the way, is there also a way to mix 'match' and 'except' parameters? For example like:

show system info | match ipv6\|wildfire | except version
