I am working with a client on troubleshooting an issue with a Nexus 9K. Seeing as I do not have direct access to the device, I had him run 'show tech-support' to get all of the information on the device. On other devices, this makes a large, but manageable text file to get information from. From the 9k, the file was 2.3GB extracted! This is too large of a file for any text editor to handle. What is the best way to get diagnostic information from this?

yes we do the same, store in the nexus flash or USB, upload to Linux box, start looking with grep or egrep for the looking information.

- If show tech-support details was executed, perhaps in an initial trouble shooting phase, one could start without the details option.

The command was tac-pac. I don't have direct access to this device, so getting back in would be tricky. Is there another way to extract this information from this file? Is there a tool that can be used to extract this information? Unix file parsing commands are the only thing I can think of to get info form this file, but that is less than optimal.

OK, I can do that. I just really thought there would be a better tool for this.

I extracted the running-config with this unix command:
sed -n "/'show running-config'/,/--------------------------------------------------------------------/p" showtech.txt > showrun.txt
