I don't beleive you can do it in the way you would like to. However if you created a compliance policy looking at the interface config blocks and looking for that ACL you could run the ACL script and then reapply the ACL through remediation (as long as you don't update the complaince policy report in the process).

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…

I believe the /leave-old-sw will just copy the software and not change the boot statements. You may want to use /safe if you want to keep the old old there in case of upgrade issues. Though I would walk through the process manually once and verify that the IOS gets copied propery, the boot statements set and so on.

There is a check box in the config block section for it to not trigger a violation if the block is not found. I have highlighted it in the below image.

I would say that what you want to do can maybe be done. The biggest challenge would be making NCM do the automatic changes in a timely fashion. I am not familiar with UDT since we don't own it and I don't have time to spin up an eval of it to test. A lot of the feasibility is going to come from how standardized your…

Go to the interface and edit it. Then enable and set your custom bandwidths.

I would personally use your second method and let NCM do it after you have done the groundwork. Now for my reasoning. * Changes to this list in the future will likely be much easier once you have it setup the first time. * It should allow you to ensure that this new section of config is always to standard and allow you to…

I have been struggling with a similar situation. I think I stumbled over a possible solution when trying to help in a different post, although it will take some ground work. I don't have this working yet, but I am going to work on it for the next several days until it fits my environment. But first an explanation of the…

This seem to be exactly what the compliance policies can do. They can verify that a config is present or that is isn't there and much more advanced logic. If you have a specific use case let me know and I should be able to figure out how to get it done (and if not me there are many more minds on thwack smarter than I am).

I would use regex the entire ACL This ACL: ip access-list standard 100 permit 10.0.0.0 0.31.255.255 deny any log Would be this regex: ^ip\s+access-list\s+standard\s+100(\n|\r)\s*permit\s+10\.0\.0\.0\s+0\.31\.255\.255(\n|\r)\s*deny\s+any\s+log I use this method for all of my Cisco ACL compliance checks

I am a little unclear as to what exactly you are looking, but I may still be able to answer. You can use string match or regex to create the rules and then you can use Config Change Templates (scripts) for remediation. Using a script to check the configs in a manner that I think you are describing could be accomplished…

That is an interesting problem you have. I would try a compliance policy, advanced with a config block check and have it match against the interface and description lines. I am not sure it it will work as I intend, but I think it will. Please let me know if this works for you or if you have issues so I can try to help…

I haven't seen this type of limitation built in, though you may be able to write a config change template that limits it. You may be better off using the built-in approval system and judicious use of AAA command limiting to limit any possible issues.

Create report and use the advanced database query for the selection method. I have put the query I use for an asset report below. It doesn't grab all of the Custom Pollers you would want so you can either create a new report for each poller or do some fancy SQL that I had to have one of our DBAs make to condense the…

This isn't currently supported in SolarWinds to my knowledge. The hovers are being redesigned and most of the feedback included ways to customize the hover, so hopefully it will be included. look below for an early look at new content hovers!

While I don't currently have a script built to do this, you should be able to do it fairly easily with Config change templates. You would need to specify the desired IOS and hash in custom properties, NCM already knows the model. You could also put in whatever other filters you want, in case you were only upgrading a…

Alright, first a few a few questions. Is your topology for that part of the network hub and spoke or is it mesh? How are your neighbor alerts currently built? Now if it is basically hub and spoke I would suggest possible modifying or create a new alert for your network neighbor alerts. i have a similar situation using…

The real time change notification is fairly straight forward to setup. It is a syslog or trap based alert that triggers NCM to go download the config and compare it to the last config (or baseline) to see if there are in fact any changes and will email when a change is found and can include the change found in the email.…

I think combining it into one alert may be your best bet. I would probably use the status has changed event(1x) and the status is not Up field comparisons. I can try to set up a similar alert, but are you using the warning and critical thresholds or have you defined something specific in the alert itself? Sorry if this…

The config tab is the Network Configuration Manager (NCM) module so if you don't have it already you will have to purchase it.

I would do a combination of the suggestions. Add a custom property for server type (as in what is the server's generic purpose) and then if you have critical and non critical servers in the same type I would add another custom property like Response Teir (and set each device to whatever classifications for response you…

The discards could be cause by traffic shaping or carious other configurations and I would imagine (though I am not sure) that the transfer from one AP to another could cause some errors. I would verify that you are see the errors/discards increment in the device and then Focus on the Cisco side of things since SW won't be…

If it is just you using the script/template to update IOS then I would say the script might be easier. But if there is anybody else I would user a template so that there is less change of error. If you want to use templates a IOS upgrade script is a good place to start from my limited experience. Look at the templates…

I recently fought a similar issue. My setup is slightly different than yours, but the logic of it should be the same RTR > Core Switch > Other Switches > Misc Nodes First I tried the Auto dependency which almost worked, but when it failed it was horrid. What I ended up doing was creating a group that contains all of the…

While not the easiest or cleanest I have found a way around this issue. It involves using TCL and EEM on the Cisco device. First you create an EEM script to apply portion of the change with the variable requirement. event manager applet NewRoute event none action 01.0 if $_none_argc eq "0" action 01.1 puts "Current Gateway…

Depending on the specifics of these changes and how often they occur I would do as has been suggested and create the custom properties then scripts and templates. This can be painful if you have a several different types of interfaces that you will be changing per switch as I (and a few tech support tickets) haven't found…

I would add a custom property. Export the current caption, ip address, and the new custom property you created. manipulate the data in excel and then import the data. They it is fairly easy to make a config change template to change it and run any other commands right after it (like regenerating RSA keys for SSH). I can…

Geographical location Device owner Service owner Device grouping Alert muting Finally and probably the most painful NCM scripting. It is only painful because interface custom properties cannot be referenced within NCM which ends up being a huge drawback for me since I I would like to use the interface properties in my…

You could have it try to check the Last Boot event in the reset conditions. I currently can't do a full test of this, but I may be able to next week. At this point it becomes a race between the node showing up and NPM seeing the last boot has changed. You may be able to look at the system up time as well. It is odd that we…

I have noticed a few errors on the success center and have reported them to the email at the bottom of the page. I received a response within a few hours and the issue resolved by the next day.
