Code Compliance Report

Question

I have NCM collecting configs and such from the network.  I am also writing some configuration compliance reports as well and the thought came up as to why can't I do this type of check for code compliance.

\What do I mean by code compliance?  Here are some examples:

I want to check if the following code is on these particular models.  If it is not, I want it to fail a compliance check and be alerted to this failure.

N9K-C9300 7.0(3)I5(2)

​N9K-C9500 7.0(3)I5(2)

WS-C2960S 15.0.2-SE11

WS-C2960X 15.2.2E7

I haven't been able to find a report that already exists or a way to do this in the compliance area.  I found an old article from 2014 that asks for almost this exact thing, but there was no resolution.

Any way to do this now that it is 2018??

I would make use of the maintenance and support feature in NCM >7.5 to set the dates on devices running old versions of code and report of that

Can the report actually do the compare automatically (instead of me having to look at the report and doing the compare myself?)

I'm not sure if that's something Compliance cant check off the top of my head, but I will test it in my office lab later and get back to you.

However would it not be something you can check via a report looking for Software Version?
