Config Change Report - Sorting

rcahill

Is there a method to sort the default "Config Change Report" by Node Name or IP Address?

I can not seem to figure out how to accomplish this relatively simple task.

I would like to be able to sort the "Policy Report" by Node Name. It's hard to find a node among 1000+ nodes. I get tired of scrolling and my vision goes blurry.

The new Compliance Report in NCM 7 has sorting capabilities, based on all columns.

We don't have this for the Config Change Report (but it's sorted by default based on node name in the Win32 interface) but we plan to improve this in the future.

Update:

Post yesterday's upgrade to NCM 7.0.1 the Config Change Report had a sorted alpha listing.

However there was a downside the report included the entire config, not just the 5 lines pre and post the changes. Net result a prettier report, but very very large.

Looking for that portion of the report config now....

The settings for Config comparison are stored in server's NCM settings.

Configs

Config Comparison

Display __ number of lines before and after each change.

Our setting for Display is 3 which is currently being ignored by the printed reports.

Also we lost the grey shaded printed output indicating where there are printed differences. This reflects the web based green and pink.

You could use SQL to pull the data out and then sort by NodeCaption and then display the amount of lines you want

James,

I have no SQL programing skills; just a simple and over-commited network engineer. Why would I wish to do this when the application should provide the functionality?
