NCM remove SNMP community

Hello,

I would like to run a job in SolarWinds NCM that would logon to each Cisco device and remove all SNMP community strings from configuration. I cannot do it with "no snmp-server community" command as I need to explicitly define community. Could you please share the script that allows that? Is it available on THWACK?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Michal

Have you seen glink's NCM template? It might be a good starting place for you.

Unfortunately NCM scripts aren't dynamic in the sense that you can't tell them to log into a device, run a show command to get all the strings and then initiate a loop to remove all the strings that were found

The entire text of the script job has to be calculated before the NCM job will begin. What I typically see people do is to build a report against the saved configs in the database and extract out all the unique lines that contain snmp-server, and then they take that report and, depending how fancy their skills are, they either manually run jobs against all the devices for each of the known communities, or they feed this all into a powershell/python script that figures it out and it builds the relevant jobs via the NCM api.
