I haven't seen one yet?

Mandatory just means more stuff for people to ignore!! I try and stay away from custom properties and move as much stuff out to the device as possible. If you have custom properties you want to be mandatory, you should set up reports to let you know when they aren't getting done. While there are some custom properties you…

This should work to get rid of the password prompt. copy scp://cmalott21:PASSWORD@192.168.1.1/<IOS> flash:<IOS> Just as an FYI - I just did this a bit ago on a couple hundred routers and noticed a few things. First, FTP is the fastest protocol to upgrade with that I could find. SCP was actually one of the slowest, pretty…

The problem is, that when putting in a banner you don't get prompted for each line. So it has to time out before it tries putting in the next line. Doesn't work very well... The solution I found is just TFTP the banner in via your script. Works great!! Then I use a compliance rule to make sure its set correctly...

the reports by default generate once per day. If you change anything, you either need to "Update" that specific report, or "Update All" reports. You do this from any of the views that show you your reports. "baseline" configs you will find in the NCM configuration manager. You can mark a specific config for a device as the…

Yea, I would wait a few days at least, and if they don't go away open a support ticket. You really shouldn't be deleting things directly from the database using SQL unless you're VERY familiar with the dependencies...

Good job on the NCM, should help out with this problem.. So, the first question I would have is "how are you going to identify your uplinks"? Are all trunked ports uplinks and will you use this assumption? Or are you setting the interface description in a way to separate out the uplinks? If there is CDP or LLDP info on it?…

The basic same approach was part of a prior discussion. Might find more details there. I'll just refer you to that discussion rather than rehash it all here. Filtering for incorrect logging hosts

You know, I was thinking about this earlier and there is one HUGE flaw in the concept of working on things based on the number of votes that a feature gets in the feature request section. The problem is, that if not enough people are seriously using a module, the feature requests for that part of the program never get…

You are correct in both cases, that there is a duplicate IP address finder in UDT and that you can set an alert to find them based on SYSLOG messages. However, in BOTH cases I don't believe it will accomplish what sja is asking about. Both UDT and syslog will tell you if there are duplicate IP's on a given LAN segment. He…

Some people like to keep the old interfaces around for having a traffic history and such. Not everyone wants these blown away right away. It would be nice if when you replace a device if you were given the options to migrate the traffic history from lets say the old Fa0/0 interface to the new Gi0/0 interface, but that…

If you want to test, just change the MAC address of your own NIC, quite easy as I said!! Have fun! If you think the question was answered correctly, please mark it as such so others know!

They look pretty standard, which makes sense since you didn't know about them. Assuming it's just the one screen and no more? What lines in the config are changing but not getting picked up as being changed during the RTCD? Also, are you having RTCD download the startup or running config? ie: If NCM has a copy of your…

And I did try modifying your regex to support what I'm really trying to accomplish, came up with something like this: ^(?:ssh )(?:((?:(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)))…

By default it should be only saving changed configs. By default it ignores quite a few things, which are found under "Comparison Criteria".. You can alter or add things to this to make it ignore more things if you want. How are you triggering RTCD? I think if you do it via Syslog it will generate an event whenever you go…

That's odd, the PCU stuff all seems to belong to "PowerControlUnit" stuff. Not sure why that would be related to NTA. You can take those queries and put them into SWQL Studio, which is part of the SDK. By hitting F4 or on the "Query" menu selecting "parameters" you will get boxes on the right hand side of the screen where…

What, no web based map editor? 8-) I bet your programmers would have a fit trying to get that done!! 8-) One comment on Remote Desktop and background colors and such. Make sure you have someone go into the console (or via ILO) and bump up the resolution and colors to the maximum on the base server itself. That's where I…

Look at your output where it says "Last clearing of "show interface" counters 3d14h. As I said in my previous post, usually the only time SNMP counters (ie: what you poll via UnDP) and "show interface" counters match is when you haven't cleared the SNMP counters since the router rebooted. You, or someone else, cleared the…
-
Yea, the only problem with that is that someone out there has to translate "automagic" into actual code!! :-) And getting a report with hundreds of rows tends to hurt more than it helps. Just trying to show the difficulties in doing what you want. I'm tending to agree with getting a copy of the Engineers toolkit, run the…

Netflow doesn't use much bandwidth, so it would be encouraged to monitor it at both ends of the link(s). Esp. if there are multiple links to the remote sites, like multiple VPN tunnels or secondary links. If there aren't multiple links, its still not a bad thing, that way you will get good data no matter what device your…

Yes, being able to do policy reporting on these types of attributes would be very nice. Not only on things like IOS version but other things you find in the "inventory". Like what software is installed on windows boxes, or what TCP Services or UDP services are running on your cisco box. Just makes sense, if you're going to…

Hmm... There is a firewall between your syslog server and NPM server? Most people usually have their network management systems like this on the same subnet, or at least in the same DC. If it is Syslog-NG and keep_hostname() is defined, but its not doing it as shown above, you might check to make sure that it was compiled…
-
Yea, that would be two different things. NCM Compliance manager can check to see if its configured right as previously said. NPM's custom pollers can poll the OID you mentioned and figure out if it syched ok and alert on it if not. There was a discussion some time ago on the NTP question, specifically making sure that only…

Yea, I'd agree, if you're only doing this once, do it by pasting the devices into the discovery wizard. Quite easy to do... If you're going to do it repeatedly, figuring out the Powershell might be worthwhile, otherwise a waste of time. Pasting it into discovery wizard should take a few minutes to complete. Very easy.. I…
-
Yea, you kind of lost me again on your further explanation! :-) But, we don't have anything like that, so... I figured the little bit I found would put you on the right track though. It is interesting that they then keep the results in an XML field, never even looked at that before. Unfortunately I have no idea how ot…

We are testing lightweight with WCS right now, but don't have a large deployment... If we can get maps, that would be great. Not too concerned about the heat maps myself. Things like # of clients, # of errors either wirelessly on on its uplinks. Maybe who is on it. Definitely what AP's are connected, whether they are up or…

I'll also echo that comment. The single most important thing for Orion IMHO is a separate database that has good performance. Follow that up with sufficient memory and CPU on all boxes... Plus, update everything to get it running the latest code, and if you're using NTA, make sure you have a seperate NOSQL server for it,…
-
That depends on where you put them! :-) If you go to NCM Settings, under "Config Archive Folder Locations". It hints that you can save to multiple folders, but I have yet to see them add a "New" button where you can set up additional ones. Once you get into the profile for the folder location, you will have a path to where…

Change the $ to a \r. I posted more details on this bug a month or more ago. Solarwinds is aware of it, not sure if its fixed in 7.4 yet though. Link to the prior post:Compliance rules - EOL or '\r' vs '$'
