How to schedule a compliance report and email out?

Hi,

I would like to know how to schedule a compliance report and email out. I can do it in "Schedule Manager" under "Alerts & Reports" but from there I cannot find any compliance reports.

From NCM compliance policy reports, I can't find any option to set a schedule.

Thanks,

Jinqiang

You will need to create a job and from there you can schedule and email your report.

This works great except I don't see details of my report. I just have a successful notification that the report ran. Is there a way to include the results? My job is searching configs for a string to be present, I am looking to have a weekly report searching my devices for a setting to be in place or not. The compliance report is working properly when going directly to it.

When configuring the job i used "save job log" and "Email results". I have tried both with and without the option "Send notifications only when there are policy violations" but the results are the same.

The email looks like this...

Generate a Policy Report: Check for 911 routes

Emailed Policy Report to email@domain.com

Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it works?

Instead of doing a policy report, try doing a "Execute Command Script on Devices".

Fill in the details, schedule it and it will email you the results per switch.

This works, but it will give me a lot of output for every device and I'm more interested in a cleaner output containing only the devices that have specific configuration present. I was already using the scripting like this but wanted a more specific output.

Is the alternative to compliance reports just viewing the results in a dashboard?
