CDP and LLDP neighbors

Hi there,

Unless Im missing it, is there any reason why there isn't a view for CDP and LLDP neighbors under a device when looking at it? It only appears to show devices that have already been discovered and added into solarwinds? Also the pre-canned report for CDP doesn't seem to show all CDP neighbors that have been learned is this a feature only available with NCM?

Thanks

John

Same as on the other thread, no particular reason its not in the view by default. As a general rule most of the default widgets are kind of focused on having quick load times and not presenting a wall of text but you are free to modify them to your needs.

Not sure which modules you have but NPM, UDP, and NCM all have different mechanisms of collecting CDP neighbor data. I'm assuming maybe the canned report you are referring to is this one?

If thats the case it would only show data collected from devices that are in NCM and have had an inventory job complete on that device.

This docs link shows how those inventory jobs work solarwindscore.my.site.com/.../NCM-Inventory
