Single NCM Integration with Multiple NPM?

Question

Hello,

We have an instance were we have two NPM installations and a single NCM installation.  Now that NPM has the ability to forward syslog information, we'd like to get the devices from our other NPM server added to NCM.  I'd like to understand how that works and what devices each integration can see.  Each NPM instance covers a different geographical area and we'd like to maintain some view seperation for those areas.

My thoughts are that I'll need to install the NCM integration part on the other NPM server and configure it correctly.  I'll then import the desired devices and setup syslog fowarding for RTCN.  Once this is done, I'm assuming we should see the configs for the devices populate in other NPM server but what happens if they go to the configs tab.  What devices are seen?

Thanks!
Eric

Each NCM integration with NPM is limited in operations to the nodes the databases (NPM/NCM) share. So each integration is distinct--as are their views.
