Hi Stephen, if you have the Need to secure your NCM then do so. A user with the rights to connect to the Orion DB can of course read the specific table (ConfigArchive). But this user has possible the access to the folder of the ConfigArchive, too. So implement limitations. First do anyone need a remote access to your Orion…

Hi aclarkvanmaur, rstoney00 is right. My Suggestion is that you want to check that the default value 3 is not changed. So if the command do not exist in your config then it is the default value. Otherwise you get a new line in your config like "ip ssh authentication-retries 2". So you are able to create a compliance check.…

you know that a default rule "Set Authentication Failure Rate ... " exist? You find it in "Manage Rules"

Are you using only the string block in Manage Rule and search for a string or do you using Advanced Config Search? Do you want something like that: Of course you can use the RegEx for new lines ".*\n(.*\n)*.*". You find further RegEx for…

Hi again, go to Configs then Jobs: If there is not this menu then you have to customize your menu bar. For that you have to go to Settings(Website Administration) and click on "Customize Menu Bars" Here you can add Jobs or delete it. regards, flo
