I have a couple of hundred of Cisco routers. I've downloaded their running configs with Cirrus. Is there any easy way to find those devices that don't have a line (i.e. logging buffered) in their configurations.
Thanks.
You can do this pretty easily using the Cirrus Policy Reporter. You can get to this through the Reports drop-down menu. Once in the Policy Reporter, from the File menu start the Policy Creation Wizard. It will walk you through creating different rules, policies, and reports to either look for strings or missing strings, etc. Ultimately you may want to define a corporate policy report with multiple rules to ensure all devices comply.

Worked like a charm. Thanks. I've found 29 of them.
Now, how to feed the results (hostnames) into Device List to execute command script on them. Is there an easy way?
Best regards.

Tomaz,
Glad it worked for you. I'm not sure I fully understand your question. I believe you want to now correct the issue you found on the 29 nodes. The easiest way it to execute a command script on these nodes. From the Nodes drop-down menu choose "Execute Command Script". In the top half of the screen you designate which nodes to execute the script against (you have options to execute it against all nodes in the database, groups of nodes, or nodes that match specific criteria). In the lower half of the screen you define what you want to execute. Just a tip - you may want to load a sample script to see the syntax (see load script button in the lower right corner).
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.
That would be nice to do an import as you are describing. Another option available now is to create a custom macro - which is nothing more than a field in the database - and use this as your common criteria field for the target nodes. This can be done through the Cirrus Settings in the Custom Macro section.
I think what you are asking is a great feature request. It would be nice to automatically specify a list of nodes for issue remediation once identified using Policy Reporting.
Thanks for the feedback.
Best regards,
Stephen
We appreciate your feedback and for the great feature request. We are evaluating the ability for the user to highlight devices that are in violation within the Policy Reporter and be able to open the Execute Command Script window. Within this window the highlighted devices would appear and users could execute whichever script they prefer. I think this enhancement would provide the functionality you are looking for.
Hello,
Ease of implementation and use was one of the reasons I chose Solarwinds Cirrus and Orion (especially over Ciscoworks). Therefore I must admit, I haven't spent much time and effort into RTFM and discovering advanced features (including Policy Reporter and Custom Macro). I hope, some day I'll get to it. O:-)
But on the other hand for us novice users, it's good to know that there are other yet undiscovered possibilities, beginning with open database design upon which some SQL guru can do wonders.
