• How to search for "text" in all blobs ?

  One reason this seems like a reasonable approach is that on the main GitHub page for Oxidized, they mention running git blame. So it seems like part of their intent is for users to be able to use git commands. Source: over 2 years ago

• Huge undocumented network, need some pointers

  Set up netdisco and have it discover everything. You'll have to seed it switch IPs and have snmp RO set up but it should be able to help map things out. Use oxidized to get the configs, this will need an account on the switches and knowledge of all the switch IPs. This would be my bare minimum. Make some diagrams too, manually doing this helps me understand how things are laid out and connected. Source: over 3 years ago
