NCM - Exclude devices from the Running vs Start Up comparison?

FormerMember over 11 years ago

Hello! I managed to add multiple Ayava devices to our config backup job, and it works great. However, the Avaya's don't have a so called "Startup" configuration. Is there a way for me to manaully set certain devices to be excluded from the comparison that is done daily? The team here knows there is nothing we can do to "make" a startup config on these boxes and are just thrilled that after creating the NCM template we can now download configs, we just don't want them in the comparison bucket, so to speak. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi donc1972,
I suppose you're talking about the Daily Config Change Report. You can specify node selection criteria:

Is this the same place that the comparison is made that creates the "pic chart" - Overall Running vs. Startup Config Conflicts

No, unfortunately you can't do it for the chart.

Darn. Is there a place for a feature request? This seems like a no brainer as being useful for folks that have other than an all Cisco shop.

Have you considered:
Select Nodes Where all of the following apply
Agent IP Address Contains "."
Select Nodes Where Non of the Following apply
    Caption is "bad router"
    Vendor is not "Cisco"
    etc, etc, etc

Where would this be done? That chart pulls the data from the comparison. This is not a scheduled job, this is out of the box as far as I understand.
