That's good to hear! With respect to your "small request" ;-), we're absolutely on the same page. This will require changes on the NPM side to allow for "subscription to changes" so we're looking at trying to to do this in the next major release of NCM.

I've been having great experience with the NTA 3.6RC3. Finding out that the issues that arose during some of the post NPM 9.5SP2 Service Packs with polling engine stopping being resoved is encouraging. I give a lot credit to SW's crew for using the collaboration in Thwack as a tool to add new features we request and to…

And this is how this will work from the NTA settings area when configuring monitored sources (NetFlow and CBQoS):

Despite its use of a service for scheduling, CatTools remains a desktop utility that leverages an Access DB. As noted by Spartacus above, this comes along with certain limitations on locking. If you need more advanced, multi-task scheduling, you might consider evaluating Orion NCM to see if it meets your needs.

Changing the view ID in the URL should have not affect on what *account* limitations are applied when the view is loaded. If there's an account limitation on a node, then the applications and components on that node should be restricted as well. Please create a ticket for this so we can investigate what's going on.

Thanks Lee. That clarifies it for me. One last question, would you be okay with pre-configuring the backup config activity (with a list of devices) using the CatTools UI and then programatically executing the activity? Or, do you have to be able to programatically configure the activity as well?

Unfortunately, the beta is already closed. The good news is we're really close to releasing it so stay tuned.

Thanks for posting. That helps. In addition to ensuring that all fields are editable, would you like it if the report was grouped by node name? For others viewing, is this what you are looking for as well?

The issue is related to "More" prompt detection. We've made the changes to fix this in 5.1.1, which will be released within the next month or so. In the meantime, is there a way to set the RESET command for this device so that it doesn't page and require detection of More prompt?

 jodros, would you mind posting your template? I'm very curious to see the differences between yours and the one that we created. For example, do you have specify 8${CRLF} or do you just have 8.

The URL must match the hostname as specified in the certificate (usually requires fully qualified). E.g. https://xxx.hostname.xxx/ Please see the 5.0 release notes, which describes how to setup HTTPS: www.solarwinds.com/.../releaseNotes.htm

True you can select more then one node but in settings you can specify snmp ver. 2 or 3 but not 1 I'm not sure what you mean. See screen shot below. I would like that to show the who for whomever can see this report but would like it restricted to administrators and not the engineers or web viewers. Ok, got it.

Read SNMP community string is needed for inventory and system info discovery. Read-Write SNMP community string is required if you want to setup config transfers using SNMP/TFTP. Yes, you would need to update the SNMP v3 community string in NPM as well as NCM. NCM may not be able to pull SNMP v3 information directly from…

Can the folks on this thread please provide their case #'s around their reporting issues? I'd review to ensure that the problems are actually all related.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, please keep in coming. Just to give you some perspective into our roadmap planning, right now I have "User Tracking" as the #1 feature to implement in the next version. So, it has a great chance of making it into the release. In 5.0, we prioritized the website ahead of L2/L3 discovery…

User tracking is at the top of our enhancement priorities and we expect to add this feature in future release of NCM. To ensure we prioritize the right use-cases in our implementation, can you help us understand which features of CW User Tracking you use the most? Here's how we've prioritized thus far: 1. Active End Host…

For folks experiencing this issue, please contact support to get this hotfix.

We definitely hear you on this request and we're looking at how we can solve this moving forward. For internal folks, we're already tracking thsi request as #13574 (Syslog) and #13575 (Traps). For folks interested in this feature, I'd like to get on a brief call with you to make sure I fully understand the use-case and…

The precommand feature has been around for a while (since we added support for Nortel's a long time ago), so I wouldn't think that would be the case. Just to be sure, what version are you running? The latest is 5.5.1.

skierjmh, after speaking with dev, this is what they suggested as well. Let me know if this works for you.

You'll need to create a new device command template for this device. If you're running NCM 5.5.2, you can go to the device template directory on your server (<install dir>\SolarWinds\Configuration Management\DeviceTypes) and open up the Cisco IOS template. You'll notice the following lines: <Command…

I'm discussing with dev to see if there are any reasons not to allow this, so stay tuned. Thanks for the request - the use-case makes a lot of sense.

Okay, then you'll need to change the DownloadConfigIndirect command to something like the following: <Command Name="DownloadConfigIndirect" Value="tftp ${StorageAddress} put config.csv ${StorageFilename}${CRLF}"/> I'm not sure if there's a confirmation y/n after you hit enter for the command. If so, you'll need to add that…

Can you send me the session trace?

You can just remove the resource from the view. Go to Personalization in the upper right hand of your screen and delete the resource.

Very cool, thanks for the update! What kind of device was it? Would you mind posting the updated template to the content sharing zone? 

Good question. The reason is that you are using a different transfer method (TFTP) to actually transfer the config to Cirrus. In your previous example, I believe you were using Telnet/Telnet as the transfer mechanism which means the config is being read line by line and prompts (#) that tell Cirrus when to stop reading are…

Can you please also help me with knowing what are the standards that needs to be agreed before i completey implement NCM NCM prereqs: 1. Network devices should be reachable from the NCM machine 2. Network devices should have either SSH or Telnet access enabled 3. Network devices should have SNMP enabled and be SNMP…

We're working on this, but it's not something we're going to be able to deliver in a simple hotfix. See screen shots below for how we plan to address this use-case requirement.
