the part that generates rancid configs is part of netdisco, docs are here:
https://metacpan.org/pod/App::Netdisco::Worker::Plugin::MakeRancidConf
it has been updated by earendilfr & me some months ago so it generates configs
for rancid 3.x by default and integrates into the netdisco worker/scheduling
framework so it's no longer a standalone script. it supports netdisco's
powerful acl framework, so the generated rancid config can be as diverse as you
need. a lot of use cases have examples in that manual page.
we also have a plugin to have have a link to your websvn or whatever url,
directly from device details webpage:
https://metacpan.org/pod/App::NetdiscoX::Web::Plugin::RANCID
while i'm an avid netdisco and rancid user i must admit, while i've tested all
the changes, we don't use either of those functions on our production setup due
to non technical reasons.

Subject: Re: [Netdisco] Router Acess
Hi Tim,
Currently there is no support for command-line (ssh) actions for port up/down.
The only command-line action we support is gathering of ARP tables.
This could be patched into Netdisco, but would need someone who understands
Perl very well. We have a framework for adding ssh/cli commands, but it has
never been used before for a realtime task like this, so it would be a real
experiment!
Alternatively, you might like to look at the Netmiko library (python), and
script this yourself.
regards,
oliver.
