Hello,

I use show:alarms in a monitoring script to check if there was any alarm 
triggered. Is there some other way to do it not using traffic_shell?




I was thinking of moving a couple of these "status" like commands into 
traffic_line. So e,g.

     traffic_line -a


would produce identical output to the old show:alarms command . Would that be 
acceptable for now?

Long term I wish to implement all the mgmt APIs for scripted languages , but 
it's a lot more work. And I do feel that e.g. show:alarms functionality should 
be in traffic_line anyways .

Thoughts?

Hi all,

I’ve written a replacement for traffic_shell, entirely in Perl using our Perl 
Admin module. This has two benefits:

1) It eliminates a huge dependency on TCL (and readline or similar lib), 
leaving only the hash TCL code left.

2) I feel it makes for a more manageable tool, that we can now improve / work 
on more easily.


The downside is that we lose the ability to write TCL script using the 
traffic_shell  interpreter. I honestly don’t feel this being a huge problem, 
particularly if we focus efforts on getting the MgmtAPI’s into modern scripting 
languages.

The new version is virtually identical to the old version, with one small 
exception; show:alarms does not work. It does mean that in order to use 
traffic_shell, you must have Perl installed.

Thoughts? I’d like to land this for v5.0.0.
