Continually run some procedures, and trigger logs on particular patterns events (e.g. something changed, something went from empty -> not empty, or not empty -> empty, etc.). I'd write this in python with the excellent sh module, but the idea would be to have a configuration of event_type and pattern:action [arguments] where e.g. lldpinfo could be watched, and if certain neighbors change, send before+after snapshots to syslog. and other such things.

To make sure I got it right.....

So a loop of LLDP / CDP and any other relevant functions reading and compare their results to the last run (perhaps store results once in a small txt file and compare to it every time, only changing it if the results are different. As well if results are different, the following happens:

if results change { write a log entry to an overall log file with following format: [TIMESTAMP] [LLDP|CDP|ETC] CHANGE: WAS X -> CHANGED TO X. }

Yes, with the ability to specify the match so that things that are supposed to change like timestamp don't kill you.

Hello, I was hoping to build this onto one of my Pi. I saw online this is supposed to work on a Pi3, Whenever I sent either image down to my SD card (I've used both Etcher and Win32Diskmaker) I just boot to a rainbow screen. I have tried adding boot_delay=1 or boot_delay=30 to my boot.config.txt I am also using a powercable that works for Raspberry Pi (5.2V x 3A) as I have used this before with other projects. Am I missing something. Is there a way to just build NetPi on top of a Rasbian or NOOBS or something else like this. Thank you for reading this and I look forward to any (hopefully helpful) replies!
