hi
does solarwinds NCM product support microtk device like cisco ?
Hi,
MikroTik devices are now supported out of the box.
Sometimes there may be issues caused by colorful lines the device sends in output. All these strange characters are information about line color. To turn off colorful output please change device login user name: {username}+c. For example: admin+c.

soplixx,
If the device has a CLI (Command Line Interface) then NCM should definitely be able to communicate and manage the device via Telnet or SSH. You may need to modify the Device Command Template that NCM is using to know what commands to pass the device based on the management commands you are trying to pass it. If that's the case, you may want to read through chapter 5 of the Orion NCM Admin Guide.

Anybody else interested in MicroTik devices, or has tried to develop templates for it and failed?
hi,
I've just tried to develop a template for a MikroTik device.I can now get snmp data from the device and log in via SSH but cannot get any output in the result window when attempting to run scripts.
The debug data from an export command shows --------------------[m[36m/interface[m [m[36methernet

whilst the debug from a Cisco device shows

It seems that parsing is then unable to pickup relevant data to display.
I've opened a case with Solarwinds and provided debug files, templates and traces.

Hello Vicent,
I'm also trying to get a NCM template for Mikrotik devices, so I can download and save the configs of mine.
Have you been successful building the Mikrotik template, and if so, would you mind sharing it here with us?

Although Jason's answer is correct for vast majority of devices, Mikrotik is an exception because of their non-standard CLI behaviour.
