I am researching NCM capabilities, as far as polling information from vendors and making it available in SolarWinds reporting. We are currently running version 2019.4.1 and are moving to version 2020. I see from product info that Cisco and Palo Alto vendor information can be pulled. My question is what fields of data are available? From Cisco, can I pull End of Support (Warranty dates), End of SW Maintenance, Replacement Part, End of Sales info? Can I do the same for Palo Alto and or other vendors? I'm assuming that there is a HTTPS connection going from our Orion server to the vendors?
This also falls in line with SAM. Dell, HP, IBM … maybe other vendors?
Would like a little more detailed information than what is provided off the SolarWinds website. Can someone point me in the right direction?
