Hi,

I think CatTools does most of this and on the option tab of the backup activity you can specify to send an e-mail only if the configs change.

This will report all devices that have changed in a sortable table. Can I inquire as to why you would want this on an email per device basis?

Kind regards,

Wardini

Hi Wardini ,

I am getting a report (Backup Running Config Report) . it's a zip file whihc don't have the content . I am looking for report which NCM used to send . A single mail . all changed configs from each equipments

Like below

10.1.0.25

#############################

conduit permit tcp host 24.7.15.122 eq 80 host 172.22.20.165 ( This is the new config compare to yesterday's con-fig )

################################

10.1.0.26

onduit permit tcp host 24.7.15.122 eq 80 host 172.22.20.165 ( This is the new config compare to yesterday's con-fig )

###################################

Like this way is it possible

I think you may be posting in the wrong forum? This is the CatTools forum not NCM?

Hi Wardini ,

No I am talking about CatTools Only . Since there is diff program added with Cat Tools .
I Was just thinking to get a report of changes happened in my all network devices at every morning as the way I am getting the Backup Running Config Report.

My requirement is a Backup Config Chang Report Which is smiler like Backup Running Config Report

I guess It can be achieve . When CatTools Taking a backup it has to compare the taken backup with the previous backup and if there is a change
a report need to be made depends on the change ... a report mail need to trigger as like Backup Running Config Report .

Right now Backup Running Config Report looks Groups Name ,IP Address , Backup and Change

The Way Config Chang Report mail can be formated Groups Name ,IP Address , and Change

This report will really help a lot of administrates to audit the day to day changes on equipments

I applicate all of yours efforts to getting such report

Thanks and Regards

Vineeth,

If I'm understanding you correctly this report would be the same as the Device.Backup.Running Config report but would only have details of devices that had changed and would not include the backup column?

Hi Wardini ,

Yes that is what my requirement . But on the changes column I want the exact configuration changes happened on my network equipment compare to the last backup .

Hi Vineeth - did you say you used to have NCM? I think NCM can handle this requirement for you.

Hi Christineb ,

Yes I have tested the NCM and it is sending such reports . My question is here since we have integrated a diff tool why cant we make such kind of reports ...and it will be an added advantage of Cattools .
