How to check and roll out config to all Cisco switches (via Solarwinds NCM)

NiMo

We need to check and roll out config to all Cisco switches (via Solarwinds NCM)

It may be necessary to also change the log size on some / few / many of the switches.

To perform the necessary changes, do we need to follow below steps or do we have any feature implemented in Solarwinds which allows to parse and process some output of a command within a script and use the result in other commands?

1st – get a report (maybe compliance report) on all switches which has the specific configuration
2nd – get the effective log size
3rd – collect current logs and change the log size to some numbers
4th – apply the config template to all Cisco switches (which are missing it – compliance breach)

Can anyone assist me on this ?

1. You can create compliance reports to validate the rules against the devices that you need to check

https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/ncm/content/ncm-policy-reports.htm

You will be able to see the discrepancies once you have setup your custom compliance reports

2. I am not sure what point 2 and 3 is on your request.

3. How to use config change templates or bulk push via scripts is mentioned in the below links
