Hi
I Don’t see if it’s possible today with NCM?
I have flat file with list nodes IPs and under each node some configuration change.
Is that a feature request?or there is a away to load those changes in some kind of format?
Hello.
I believe there is no way of NCM accessing a file, getting the IP, knowing what device it belongs to and then executing the config change.
What can be done is to create a "job" where you select the nodes where you want to change the configs and then you can load your script from the file.
If you are into automation you might have a look at the SDK from SolarWinds: NCM Config Transfer · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub
Best regards,
Steffen
Sorry not online to my system, so can’t provide proper syntax. If your target systems are Cisco, or support way to configure from remote file, such as :
String @ipfile = @ip + ‘.cfg’
copy ftp://@ftpsrver/updates/@ipfile running-config
break up flat file into one file per IP ( even better use caption name instead) containing needed commands for each, store in updates directory. Have template loop device IPs, blind try copy, either fails not found, or works.
if you need to verify send show command output back to ftp sever via redirect pipe, using node or ip to name file. On ftp server merge files into one, or search using grep , findstr (windows), etc.
