Just trying to write a simple automated script that will download the running-config from a Cisco FTD Firewall.
The process is :
ssh to device
login with username/password
type command : system support diagnostic
type command : show run

Of course, if I import that, and assign that template to our FTD and do a connection test it succeeds, however, downloading the configuration just spins on "downloading" in the transfer status. We need FTD polling and NCM support ASAP!
Anyone able to get Solarwinds to be able to download configuration and monitor interfaces?
I downloaded and imported the device template that you posted. I was successful in connecting for NCM management and was able to then download the FTD configuration without a problem. I am also able to monitor the interfaces too through SNMP.
I have same issue and what I observed that this script is working for FTD version 6.2.3.X. This version I can backup with it. But for example version 6.4.X and 6.5.X its as you saying - stuck at Downloading and nothing happening.
I confimed that I can login to SSH from NPM machine and even when I do test on FTD properties at NPM - its working. So there must be something that is preventing NCM to download running config.
I worked with support and was able to resolve the issue. The problem is in the device template script, for the "show" command show is spelled with a capital S. FTD firewalls dont like capitalized letters in commands and it fails because of that. As soon as we fixed the capital S, i was able to download the configs again.
