Thanks for the info folks, the idea of importing the data sounds good, I have to admit that I've been manually adding nodes to both NCM and NPM - looks like I'll have to RTFM on that functionality! Is it relatively trivial to map fields from one to the other? Cheers Dave

Please could you add the OID for Vyatta devices? http://www.vyatta.com OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.30803

I can confirm I solved my own problem, with some assistance from Tech Support. There is a Vyatta bug (with Solarwinds SCP server) that means the config upload process is a little convoluted... <!-- edited with XML Spy v4.4 U (http://www.xmlspy.com) by () --> <!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools--> <!--Copyright 2005…

...is this a case of NCM and NPM not sharing a common DB? - i.e. I presume that the alerts are part of NPM, rather than NCM? ..if so, is there a work around? - is there a field similar to NodeGroup that I can use in NPM?

not tokens, no, but public/private key technology, yes. If you want to logon (SSH) to a server, you can use RSA/DSA key files, instead of username/password - It was the same idea with this, rather than passing a username/password to the devices, can we pass a username/file instead? ..sorry it's a bit "fluffy", we're still…

If you have a working device template file, could you share it please? I'm trying to do the same thing but am hitting a wall with the template :( For some reason, it fails to be detected/loaded by NCM, giving an "unable to locate or error loading...." message. The file is called..…

...nope, it's the built in field (see attached)

I solved my problem, for anyone else who finds this thread you should find the following script works... It should be noted that Vyatta has a bug (current at time of writing) whereby it can save configs to Solarwinds SCP server, but cannot load them. You can simply work around this by using SCP to copy the config back and…

thank-you thank-you thank-you thank-you... ...this question made me realise where I've been going wrong, trying to get NCM to recognize the prompt from my Vyatta boxes, the $ symbol causes all kinds of issues! Simply using "VirtualPrompt" and "~" in my template made all the difference, FOUR DAYS OF STRUGGLE!!!!! soooooo…
