Hi,

First of all, thanks for a great product.

I use Mass Config Push extensively to collect operational information from Cisco IOS/NX-OS devices (for example show clock, show version, show interface, etc.).

Currently the output replaces the device prompt with <prompt>, for example:
<prompt> show clock
13:25:03.139 EDT Tue Jul 7 2026
<prompt>

Instead of the native CLI output:
SWITCH1#show clock
13:25:03.139 EDT Tue Jul 7 2026
SWITCH1#

I understand why <prompt> is used for output grouping, but once viewing the output for an individual device, it would be very useful to have the original prompt preserved.

This would make the output look exactly like a terminal session, making it easier to:

copy/paste into documentation
share troubleshooting output with vendors
compare outputs with SecureCRT/PuTTY sessions
immediately identify the device without adding extra commands such as show running-config | include ^hostname

Possible implementation ideas:

Add a setting: "Preserve original CLI prompt"
Or add an output format option:
Grouped Output (<prompt>)
Native CLI Prompt (hostname#)
Or simply restore the original prompt when viewing an individual device's output while keeping <prompt> for grouping internally.

I think this would improve readability without affecting the grouping functionality.

Thanks for considering it!

This is a feature we are working on.

The idea being that you will have a group of 5 devices that all responded similarly, but you can select individual devices and see their specific responses.

It looks like the devs are aiming for 2.11 for this feature, but it's going to require some re-implementation and it will also allow us to work on other features like this.

I have put your name on the list so we can keep you posted when this work is completed.
