Hi Hez, We are thinking about ways to detect and handle duplicate nodes during the sync (same nodes managed by NPM and NCM via diff IP before the first sync) - (101576) For now, the recommended procedure is to "manually" decide which one to keep. We don't of any procedure to connect the history of the one that will be…

Well, if you keep asking for more traffic and it keeps saturating your port #1 (the one at 80%), because load balancing does not have fine-grain -enough granularity, I suppose at some point in time, the load balancer will start using port #2 (otherwise Cisco's port-channel mechanism is purely and simply broken). If this is…

Was not specifically on the list but makes sense. We will consider it.

Tks for input Ciaran. Opened a requirement (47579) and will look at it. Others interested in this type of improvement of the NPM-NCM database sync job?

We just introduced a new product which covers this: FSM, Firewall Security Manager, more here

It's pretty much impossible to answer this question with any input. It's likelly that your disk space is going to be driven by NTA, which now (in NTA 4.0) has a dedicated database to store flow data (it's not in the Orion SQL database). You can find more about NTA database sizing here. As far as theSQL Server database,…

Hi Nrms, Good set of use cases and enhancement request (72226). Reading this paragraph, both options seem redundant. Which one is your favorite? The email body changed to show only changes or email contains a link to the WEB page that has the color coding for changes? Would it be possible to have an extra option to only…

Hi DeanBennett, Other users report that in some cases it takes 2 discovery instances (and some time) before the new speed is picked-up by NPM. How long (/how many discoveries) have happened since the speed change? Does this look like your symptoms?

responded to this, in the other duplicate post

Will contact you off-line, Donald.

Hi Pyro13g, All Syslog job tasks are normally removed after they are completed. In the current case, you probably had a lot, too much for the Syslog scheduler to be able to remove them from Windows tasks folder. This is a known limitation which wil be addressed in the next release of NCM (42007) You can remove them…

Hi timcasey, Tks for taking the time of a thorough input. Most of them are already identified and capturing others (64756).

It's all driven by the increase of the demand. How many do you have? have you tried the UnDP approach?. That being said, I understand that the UnDP does not fix everything and nothing replaces native support, for which I am recording your request (32441). Tks for input.

Bhooper, what version of NCM are you running? NCM 5.5.2, 6.0, 6.1 are certified on Server 2008 R2 64bit. Have you verified your settings compared to what the doc recommends in section "Enabling Realtime Configuration Change Detection" for this feature?. Then open a case.

See Craig's answer

I think we have introduced in NCM 6.1 what you are looking for: the ability to define compliance rules that apply only to blocks of config (vs. entire config), defined by a begin and end string. This new feature is available in both the WEB Integration WEB UI and the Win32 app. See snapshots before, showing a DISA STIGs…

Can you open a support ticket?

This is not possible today. Openeing an enhancement request (70219)

You should read this

This is well identified (96175) and will be looked at as soon as possible. Tks for your input.

You should not be concerned. The new 10.2.x behavior is independant from your hardware but is based on a maximum workload per polling engine, equivalent to about 10,000 elements managed at default polling rate. When a polling engine approaches this value, you have the banner warning message and when you try to exceed this,…

Tks NRMS. Csweet, I think the IP SLA vs Netflow question has little to do with the topology but more what you try to achieve. IPSLA will give you interesting metrics that characterize pretty well the user experience and the perceived quality of service. For ex, if you create VoIP Operations with IP SLA, you'll get Mean…

We are polling the name for Cisaco only. We'll look at an enhancement (63616)

We are looking at handling this in a future version of NCM. In the mean time, we recommend to purge the old records using this direct SQL queries below: declare @mdate datetimeset @mdate='{put date there}’ delete from ConfigArchive where DownloadTime < @mdate delete from CacheDiffResults where CacheID in (select CacheID…

It's difficult to tell without seeing the configs. Can you open a case and provide the configs to support?

I will contact you off line

Hi MrSampsonite, Is this similar to your previous posting: ? Francois Caron - Sr. Product Manager - NPM NCM

take a look at this thread, might help.
