FortiGate-Config-Merger

Synopsis

Merges specific sections of one FortiGate config file into another FortiGate config file.

Purpose

This can be a useful tool for adapting prod configs to a lab environment for testing.

What the app does:

• Parses command lines arguments and YAML config file. CLI args overwrite YAML args.
• Splits configuration into dictionaries.
• Parses YAML for start and end lines that refer to sections of the configuration.
• Does a find and replace for those sections of the config.
• Produces a new configuration <original_name>_transposed.conf that can be uplaoded to FortiGate.
