16:01:35 <Qalthos> So this is our first meeting in a month, but I was out for most of that, so let's get caught up together
16:02:46 <Qalthos> #info The call for proposals for AnsibleFest 2022 ends THIS FRIDAY. If you want to submit a presentation, do it now.
16:04:10 <Qalthos> #info We had a few networking releases at the end of June:
16:04:30 <Qalthos> #info * cisco.nxos 3.1.0
16:04:37 <Qalthos> #info * cisco.iosxr 3.2.0
16:04:47 <Qalthos> #info * cisco.asa 3.1.0
16:05:07 <Qalthos> #info * junipernetworks.junos 3.1.0
16:05:53 <Qalthos> Oh good I didn't accidentally say ios instead of nxos
16:08:44 <Qalthos> I don't see anything else super exciting to share, other than it looks like the gRPC connection plugin is finally getting closer to release
16:09:13 <Qalthos> So, onwards!
16:09:14 <Qalthos> #topic Open Floor
16:10:33 <StephenWilliams[> nothing to report here just some questions regarding the ios_acl module thats all
16:10:50 <Qalthos> I probably can't answer them, but I can certainly try!
16:11:01 <StephenWilliams[> haha
16:11:18 <Qalthos> And/or get the questions in front of people who might actually know the answer
16:12:02 <StephenWilliams[> i am wondering for ios_acl if there is a way to compare running acl vs a acl that i want to push and if different send to router.  to keep idempotency good
16:12:03 <StephenWilliams[> right now it shows changed everytime
16:13:09 <StephenWilliams[> For the life of me i cannot not get the module to compare line by line even setting match: line
16:13:14 <StephenWilliams[> or even strict
16:15:30 <StephenWilliams[> as of now im building in toggles to turn certain things on and off from the user if they are updating the acl or first time running
16:16:25 <Qalthos> So from the match parameter it sounds like you're using the ios_config module? I don't see an ios_acl module, but ios_acls has been around for a while now and should be able to handle idempotency
16:17:14 <StephenWilliams[> yah i have tried ios_config and ios_acl with no success for that
16:18:15 <StephenWilliams[> the ios_acl module doesnt have a option for match
16:18:15 <Qalthos> At the bare minimum you should be able to run `ios_acls` with `state: gathered` and `state: parsed` and compare the output of each
16:18:56 <StephenWilliams[> hmmm ill try parsed and see if that may be a next level option
16:19:43 <Qalthos> But ios_acls is a resource module, and if it is not acting idempotent that is a problem and you should open an issue for that
16:20:03 <StephenWilliams[> ok
16:20:10 <StephenWilliams[> i just want to make sure im using it right before i open a issue
16:26:53 <Qalthos> Anyone else have anything they want to bring up for the meeting this week?
16:37:59 <Qalthos> Cool beans, have a good week everyone
