Clean & sort FortiOS config files.

FORTICLEAN

Description

FortiClean is a CLI tool designed for FortiOS configuration file management for better readability and comparision. Built with Python & leverages the power of the typer library, this utility streamlines the process of:

• Trimming Trailing Spaces: Say goodbye to unwanted spaces at the end of your config lines that complicate diffs, but do not affect the configuration.
• Removing Specific Sections: Clean up your config file by specifying & deleting sections do not wish to save. A handy feature for decluttering and maintaining a streamlined configuration setup.
• Sorting Config Sections & Subsections: Enhance readability & structure by sorting specified config sections for enhanced readbility. It is recommended you do not sort config sections like firewall policy where order matters.

Unlike other network operatin systems, sections where config order does not matter is hapazardly saved in the order the config was entered making automated & manual diff operations challenging

Features

• Trim spaces at the end of a line
• Delete config sections
• Sort config sections
• Sort config sections 1 level down
• Colored Logs
• Use jsonschemea to warn of config file errors
• Use jsonschema in tests
