I want to generate a report to show " sh mac add " output of all the nodes on solarwinds NCM v.7.3.2 .
Please help if possible.
msalipong You should be able to setup a NCM job to "execute a script". Within that job, there should be an option to save output to a file. I do this every night for a "show dhcp clients" command, across 600+ DSLAM blades. This generates a single list of IP/MAC addresses being used by our DSL customers. Our techs are able to search that list, making it easier to track down customers/issues.
msalipong Something like that should get you what you're looking for.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you,

Can you explain the path link ?
Do web enable the data that way ?
sja I'm not certain of the intended purpose/outcome of using that option, however, when I use it, it creates a single file, and dumps all of the results of the executed command(s)/script from the NCM job, from all of the devices, into that single file. This allows me to easily build a page of command results, which can be searched/viewed by my NOC/Support teams. It allows them to go to a single web page, 'CTRL-F' to find the IP (or whatever it is they are searching), and find the results. Previously, I had created a separate config type to download (running, startup, dhcp), and then had them do a config search, via the NCM link. However, building the page allowed me to provide a single place to view, and I didn't have to worry about giving folks more NCM access than they needed/should have.
In order to get the settings to work, I had to create the same path/folders, with appropriate permissions, on all of my APEs too. Afterwards, it all just seems to work.
