Re: Download a config automatically, after a change
deverts Mar 28, 2017 3:06 PM (in response to pnspadotto)You have to configure syslog on the device to send a trap when the device configuration is changed, then create an alert based on that trap that initiates a configuration download. I believe this is documented in the admin guides, but I'm having a hard time finding that exact reference.
You can start here, thought:

Re: Download a config automatically, after a change

The basis for the real time change detection to trigger NCM to go and perform a download of a config is either Syslog or Traps, as deverts has indicated.
The following provides guidance on this - Configure real time change detection
Things to be aware of:
- Syslog is the preferred event message protocol
- Ensure you know the appropriate filter in the Syslog alert definition to use. The guide is written for Cisco, the filter does not apply to all devices/vendors, so generate a message and review it to identify
- You can use Orion alerting engine to look for other trigger mechanisms than that provided by the device generating an event and sending to Orion via Syslog or Trap
- You can use ANY trigger mechanism you have available, which could be another application other than Orion or a scheduled script. The use of the command line utility, passing the minimum of the device IP address is all that NCM requires (review the above link for more details).

Re: Download a config automatically, after a change
pnspadotto Mar 29, 2017 9:22 AM (in response to pnspadotto)Actually, I got the real time notifications set up, as per the instructions, and, even though the language doesn't really indicate this is going to happen, the text of the e-mail and the NCM repository both show that a download of the config happened, in response to the change. So, we're golden. Thanks to everyone who responded!
