I have done this in troubleshooting an OSPF issue where we needed to =
immediately grab logs from a buffer that had only limited size when the =
adjacency reset due to a dead timer. If you have WildPackets OmniPeek =
analzyer its easy if you understand the protocol operations you need to =
filter on. I simply created a filter for the specific packet (in this =
case OSPF Master Bit). Whenever the analyzer would see the specific =
packet it would launch an executable file. I used SecureCRT's scripting =
language to have it log into the router and save off whatever show =
commands I needed. You can also have it syslog, snmp-trap, or send an =
email.
