Please can you change the Events display so it displays more events. I guess that depends on your message rate, but for us it only shows around 20-30 minutes worth of logs. It has all the text files avaiable so if you added a page forward/back option, you could look further back. If so, the search/filter option would need…

HI Steve, sorry I don't have access to Cisco kit any more - we only use Extreme and HP. It may be they have a comparable command. There is the Cisco "compare run - start" activity which effectively does the same thing for cisco but it's a very long winded way of doing the same thing. Alternatively, if this is too specific…

I thought about the send command activity and yes I am sure that would be the right way to do it, if you could somehow say send this command and log the output to a report only if a certain string is found. For what I am trying to do it needs to be a concise report, just a list of device names really but I can see it being…

I think Alexey means to use a tree structure to show the groups. Alternatively a long long time ago I suggested that CatTools simply remembers the collapse/expanded state of groups and has a "collapse/expand all" option to make selecting devices easier. Of course what I REALLY wanted was a check box against the group…

I haven't tested the new feature with a filter on,nut as I understand it the "select all" includes any new devices added later. If you do that with a filter on, would it remember the filter so for example if I set a filter for all devices in group ABC on one report, selected all devices and after repeat this for reports on…

Ah OK, so the "All Devices" works as I first thought. Assigning an activity to a group would be perfect. Most of my reports work on a group basis, so that would make the maintenance of CatTools hugely easier. Would it be possible to assign more than one group? It is less important, but I do have a sort of hierarchy because…

Just to check - mark me down as a supporter of this feature request. I am manually backing up to UCS files and would love cattools to do it for me. David

Either that, or delete the HTML files once the email has been sent? Or maybe just write the HTML files to a temp directory rather than the reports one? Any of those would be fine. Cheers

OK thanks I'm happy with that. Cheers

Sorry, I typed the command the wrong way round on the forum post. The Solarwinds support guys have helped me fix this - it was timing out on the save. I just had to set a device variation to give it longer to complete the save operation. Thanks

OK got that, not where I was expecting it - I was looking under the "Service Packs and Hot Fixes" section. Silly me ;o) Thanks! David

Just to add my 2p worth. If there is a Beta of the server with public key based authentication I would be keen to try it. I want to use it with my licensed copy of CatTools to backup config files but need a non-interactive file transfer. David Rickard

Sorry Steve, I should have been clearer. I pressed the "Stop Timer" button in the manager program.

Cedric, I am trying to do the same but my activity is stopping with "did not receive expected response" to the "b save config" command. After debugging I think it is the saving active configuration..." that is upsetting cattools, but you don't seem to have had the same problem. Is there anything else you have done which…

OK what you say helps me see what is happening: My .txt activity reports go into ...\reports\ as you describe, every time the activity runs regardless of whether there is a change. The configs, diff reports and so on all get filed away in group-specific directories. I don't get a text version of the diff report because I…

OK thanks Steve, there are some other examples there which also cover database edits, but as it turned out there weren't as many as I thought, so I did it manually. Regards David

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea.

Oh :( Well I am a current customer, have been for many years and have never received an email. How can I get this sorted out? Thanks

I asked this a couple of years ago and the only answer I could come up with was to make a copy of the config upload but use the "alternate command" option to do a "bigpipe base list" as well, This way you get two configs - one for the interfaces and so on and the normal one for the pools, vips etc. It isn't as useful as a…

Can you check this please? It's not showing in my downloads on the customer portal yet. David.

OK I have found the answer and I can do it with a variation. If anyone else needs to do this, change the "show running config" command to "cd / ; list all-properties recursive" Works a treat.
