Reporting tool

[g.leonard]

I have a management requirement to be able to produce reports regarding the ACLs on several PIXs. Is there any tool out there that can read a configuration file and produce a report based on the ACLs I have configured?

Currently I backup the config and copy out the ACL entries and some other data (object-groups etc) to another file. I then link to this file from another document. Unfortunately this takes a while with several big PIX configs and regular changes. Ideally I would like to copy the backed up config (I take a copy after each change) and put it in an area where a reporting tool can be run against it.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately we are Microsoft based. You don't know if there is a win32 version/equivalent?

Thanks
