Thanks for this PR @javcasalc. The regex looks good, but in make it fruitful, we'll need a new test case with the output you're seeing on your platform (to show why the current code is not working, and prove that the new regex would solve it).
| probe_args = { | ||
| "icmp-echo": r"^(?P<target>\S+)\s+source-(?:ip|interface)\s+(?P<source>\S+)$" | ||
| } | ||
| probe_type_map = {"icmp-echo": "icmp-ping"} | ||
| command = "show run | include ip sla [0-9]" | ||
| command = "show run | section ip sla [0-9]" |

I don't have a lot of experience on IOS platforms, but my understanding from past PRs / conversations is that older versions may not support | section (while | include should always be there). Could you clarify what's the advantage or why you chose to switch @javcasalc?

According to Cisco doc, the right flag is section: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/fundamentals/command/reference/cf_book/cf_s1.html
Examples
The following examples compare the filtering characteristics of the show running-config | include command with the show running-config | section command. The first example gathers just the lines from the configuration file with "interface" in them.
Router# show running-config | include interface
interface Ethernet0/0
interface Ethernet1/0
interface Serial2/0
interface Serial3/0
The next example uses the show command section command to gather the lines in the configuration file with "interface" in them as well as any lines associated with those entries. In this example, interface configuration information is captured.
Router# show running-config | section include interface
interface Ethernet0/0
shutdown
no cdp enable
interface Ethernet1/0
shutdown
no cdp enable
interface Serial2/0
shutdown
no cdp enable
interface Serial3/0
shutdown
no cdp enable
I did some tests in GNS3 with some old cisco routers (cisco 3640 with IOS 12.4; cisco 7200 with IOS 15.2) and I do confirm that section is the right choice:
Regarding the test case, I've included an extra "ip sla 3" entry, formatted with the new ios format, in order to test the correct parsing of both styles (old and new styles). Is this ok?

Fair enough... any thoughts on this @ktbyers ?

This patch makes ios.py get_probes_config() getter able to work with new IOS XE versions:
This code is pretty inflexible as it is based on python regex multiline, so the block (ip sla config) must match all lines and options. It should be improved.
