match two lines with different amounts of output

I have a problem where the two lines of this module output are not the same.  How can I put in essentially null place holders so that they resultant patterns are the "same"?example outputNotice that module 2 does not have Fw or Sw.Mod MAC addresses Hw Fw Sw Status 1 a03d.6f81.0740 to a03d.6f81.074f 1.1 15.0(1r)SG12 03.07.03.E Ok 2 b0aa.777d.d010 to b0aa.777d.d017 1.0 Ok  I was trying to use these two patterns and tried to put in placeholds of Fw and Sw at the end of "pattern03".  But the NQE does not like this.pattern02 = ```Mod MAC addresses {modNum:number} {string} to {string} {hwVer:string} {fwVer:string} {swVer:string} {modStatus:string}```;pattern03 = ```Mod MAC addresses {modNum:number} {string} to {string} {hwVer:string} {modStatus:string} {fwVer: null:string} {swVer: null:string}```;getMacAddrList(parsedOutput) = foreach pattern in [pattern02, pattern03] foreach match in blockMatches

Retrieval of Cisco Firepower device information

We have started to do some testing with FN. In our AWS network, we are using Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) devices managed by Firepower Management Console (FMC). FN is able to connect to an FTD and retrieve device details but does not support retrieval from FMC.In our network, for complicated routing reasons, we can’t easily enable FN to connect to our FTD instances. I can, however, provide a URL that will retrieve all the information from FMC. I would like to configure an “HTTP(S) external source” to provide that info. What I cannot figure out, however, is the required format for the data to that is returned by the URL GET. The document just states that FN will “infer” the schema. In my case, there’s no inference needed. I am writing the code that will return the info. I can format the data however FN needs it.For those who care about the details, the implementation is an AWS Lambda function that connects to the FMC REST API and returns the info. An AWS API gateway provides the

NQE Check EC2 Instance for 'default' Security Group

Morning folks! We recently got the opportunity to leverage Forward Networks NQE for a Cyber Security ask. They want to verify that EC2 Instances are not being assigned the default Security Group. This should be a simple enough task. AWS creates the security group with the name ‘default’ so all we need to do is create an NQE Query that checks our Cloud Objects with a type of ‘instance’ and verify that the list (I’m assuming it is a list type) of security groups does not contain ‘default’. However, after reviewing the NQE Data Model I’m not convinced the ‘Cloud Objects’ are exposed in such a way we can correlate instance to security group. Can someone confirm or deny this?I do see that the instance tags are exposed as part of the ComputeInstance data model, so a workaround would be for us to edit our Terraform code so that security groups assigned to the instance are also created as tags on the instance so we can expose that correlation for consumption in NQE.

Has anyone modeled corporate VPN?

Hey Folks!I’m looking to find out if anyone has modeled their corporate VPN access - maybe using Synthetic Devices - in such a way that allows you to search for user workflows to determine if they are allowed, and have them properly modeled as coming in through the VPN Firewall instead of at the switch VLAN. We are looking to create intent checks for access through our VPN. Happy NQEing!

NQE for confirming configuration within Cisco switch interfaces

Hi!  Looking for help with an NQE to scan/identify configuration for all Cisco switches within a workspace that contain one of two QOS policy maps within at least one of the device interfaces. For example interface gigabitethernet1/1 service-policy output 1P7Q3T orservice-policy output 1P7Q1T Thanks

Is adding AI to robots a good idea?

This is both incredibly amazing and absolutely frightening. The cat is extremely out of the bag now.Boston Dynamics put a generative AI into the robot dog Spot. And there are different personalities.
