Create report of device config changes with admin username and device name only.

rstamand over 2 years ago

I know with NCM we can get a daily report with config changes listed - however we would like something a little more summarized - basically just a simple daily report with just the name of the node with a config change, along with the administrator who changed it from the changed by line from the config. Is this something possible with NCM\Solarwinds reporting? And if so, is there any suggestions on how to accomplish this without including the entirety of the configuration of each device in the report?

Thank you in advance for your time!

Just checking to see if anyone has thoughts on this, or ideas to try. I would greatly appreciate it - the existing change report seems to be far too large and causes our email clients to be non-responsive for quite some time.

Which out of the box report are you using that's too big? Something from the NCM Jobs?

Check in the Orion Reports in the Content Exchange and (since this is a custom report) ask in the Orion Report Lab.

Thank you KMSigma for responding, yes the one I tried using that was too large is the "Config Change Report Job".

Because there are two places in the product where these can exist, can you attach a screenshot of where you are seeing this report? I want to make sure that we'll all be discussing the correct thing here.

Hopefully this is what you meant.

That's exactly what I meant. That uses the native NCM engine to build the report. I'm going to have to defer to the other professionals on THWACK because the details within that are outside my (recent) expertise. I've been spending most of my recent reporting time in the Orion Reports (top level menu, Reports, All Reports).
