  • Create New View * Settings - Manage Views * Add or Copy (if the view you want to create is similar to a view you already have) * Name the view (I would suggest UPS - Summary or something along those lines to prevent issues with confusing view names) * Select view type (if you want to keep a similar view the type would be…
  • The only solution I can think of is a new view with a page limitation. I was thinking you might be able to break down your summary page into tabs and have one that Overall another UPS focused, Network focused, Server focused and so on, but after testing the View Limitation affects all tabs. I think you will have to create…
  • You could use some of the logic found in this config change template (Cisco SNMPv3 (1 user) and Password Change Template) to do the validation that you need.
  • My suggestion would be to put the keys in as custom properties for each node. Then you can call it the same way you would any other custom property. if there are concerns about having that information stored in NCM you could import it just before you make your change and then clear the value afterwards. Let me know if this…
  • You could use the config change report job for this or change the type of config file that is being examined for the real time change detection.
  • I am also trying to learn and have found the Khan Academy course to be fairly easy to follow. It may not be the most in depth (not sure since I haven't finished the course), but it has helped me understand the logic behind what SQL does.
  • Just looking into this quickly I would suggest a using a negative look ahead regex and and parenthesis. Take a look at the image and see if this works. Please note that I am not experianced with lookaheads or groups in regex, so I may have made a mistake with it.
  • I don't have a similar config set to work with, but you may be able to add the bellow to your comparison criteria (in NCM settings). You will need to be careful if any of your real configs have lines that start with that same pattern. ^\d+\s:\s
  • I have never had much luck with using $ as a EOL. My favorite is (\n|\r)\s* For those who are less familiar with regex it is saying look for either a new line or a return carriage and then any amount of whitespace. I love to use this when doing ACL policy checks and anything else where command order affects the outcome.
  • While not exactly what you are asking for, but a report on IOS version should be able to get you that information. just have it exclude your "recommended" version.
  • Considering that it is over 443 (and therefore presumably encrypted as HTTPs) I think the only method of using QoE is a custom app. Set the port and destination hostname correctly and if there is no other HTTPs traffic on that server/hostname you should get fairly accurate session data.
  • If you make a compliance policy that targets the specific node you want you can then change the remediation type to Config Change Template. I strongly suggest that you have the CCT created and saved in the CCT section and maintain a version identifier and list of compliance policies it is applied to to ease the pain when…
  • I am ever eager to help however I can. And this topic is one that I deal with constantly.
  • I haven't seen a full list of available variables confirmed to work in a remediation script. However all of the variables that are available in a standard NCM script should be available there (See page 115 in the admin guide for the command script section). If you need complexity you will want to look at the config change…
  • I may not be understanding your requirement completely, likely due to my unfamiliarity with the config file in question. Here is what I think you are trying to figure out, please let me know if I am wrong. By default 'device-group' should have 'pre-rulebase' There are exceptions to that rule These are each single config…
  • ALL NCM scripts and templates run as if there was a person at the terminal so you would drop connection. However if you are using Cisco with an appropriate level of code you could possibly create an Embedded Event Manager script that would perform your changes for you. This would only be really worth while if the steps for…
  • It is late, but I can't seem to find a way to do this. I was thinking of just breaking it into it's own if statement or doing the else commeand before the if, but all with the same result (well I couldn't find how to do a "does not contain" easily). I will try ot play with it some more at the office tomorrow.
  • Diagnostic uploaded (has my thwack name in the file name).
  • I would suggest using QOE if you want detailed information, but that may end up being to resource intensive depending on how you configure it.
  • If you have a lot of dependencies or groups to create I very strongly recommend Pulover's Macro Creator (PMC). It is free and fairly easy to learn, especially when compared to SQL, SWQL, or anything similar. It is based on AutoHotkey. Basically I would lay out the groups or dependencies I need to create in excel use the…
  • There are a couple ways to skin this cat. First Chris T has one that should work. The way i would handle it is : deny\s+ip any any log(\n|\r)\s*([^ip]|[^deny]) However there is a more exacting fix you may want to consider. If you have ACLs that shouldn't change or are standard through several devices I would create a rule…
  • I think you can find your answer at Re: Alert/notification when routing table change​. Please let me know if that didn't answer your question.
  • I don't think NCM could do the uploading unless you can change your config archive location to the appropriate directory on SharePoint. LEM might have more options based on file creation within a directory, but I think you would still need to run an external script to upload the files to SharePoint. And if you are going to…
  • Here is a link that support stated would be updated when there is new information about this issue. WorldWide Map message from MapQuest "As of July 11, 2016, direct tile access has been discontinued." - SolarWinds Worldw…
  • This isn't possible for a standard report, but it is possible. Verify Configuration register using Compliance Reports
  • I think you are very close.The following might help Search only for a config block (regex) Start: ^access-list 25 permit.* End: (\n|\r) Then in the string section put 'log' This should find all access-list 25 permit statements that don't have the word log in the line after the word permit. You may also be able to remediate…
  • If I am understanding your issue you can use the user-level credentials. You can enable them at NCM Settings - Secuirty - Set Device Login& User Account Credentials to Individual. And to change your user level info you go to NCM Settings Manage User level Login Credentials. After that change all of you devices to use user…
  • Depending on how busy your main view is and how many UPS you have monitored I would recommend a new view, or at least a new tab for these resources. You shouldn't need to apply a view limitation so a tab should work fine. * With or without the new view you will have to customize the page and add the resources you want. *…
  • I have previously done something similar using config change templates and custom properties. I have included a scrubbed version of one I used to modify all of our EIGRP configurations. It did require a bit of excel workand some planning, but luckily I already had most of the information I needed. script ConfigureEIGRP (…
  • iphones and adroind both have this issues from what I have seen. I would suggest a separate email for per person receiving alerts and add those emails any alert you need 24x7 response or viability on.. You should be able to customize notification sounds based on the account, though I could be wrong.
