I am running NCM ver 7.1.1 hotfix 1. I was doing a config change using the "Execute Script" functionality in the "Configuration Management" section of the WebUI of Orion/NCM. I have NCM doing real-time configuration monitoring and emailing me with the configuration changes. I am not using the NCM approval system yet, but will be soon.
I was doing a simple configuration change, removing one logging host (not the Solarwinds host, of course) from the Cisco network hardware. When I deployed the script, NCM real-time config monitoring immediately started reacting to the config changes on the network hardware that it was making. My question is, is there a way to exempt (on one level or another) the config changes done through NCM from the config monitoring? The other odd thing is that I have done this a few times since enabling real-time monitoring and this has not happened before.
In the long run, I would not want to exempt config changes done by NCM from the NCM realtime monitor, but getting emails for a config change done through NCM seems like a waste. This combined with the config change being deployed and then a config download and alarm being created all at the same time bogged by solarwinds server way down.
