As far as I can figure out it is not currently possible, though it would be a nice feature.

I have not seen that functionality. I have subscribed to the RSS feeds for the devices I manage. I don't think it will ever be able to download the new IOS since that would require SolarWinds to integrate with your Cisco SSO account and that could become a legal nightmare.

I think you would be better off using Compliance Policy for this. Depending on what you want to do when you find loopback1 will depend on what matching method you should use. If you just want to find a loopback then perform some generic configuration (conf t; ip tftp source-int lo1; end; wr mem) then I would simply use…

As long as the group doesn't have the ability to customize their views I would create the group a new view for each part of NCM and assign a view limitation. This could cause issues if you are showing a config tab on the node details page. If you are a new set of views for node details will have to be created for the…

There are 3 options there (Yes, No, Never). I normally set items to Yes and No, but I would use Never if NCM shouldn't ever think of touching the config. The changeable No option is available, in my opinion, primarily so that you may decide to have it set to know for now, but if you have scheduled discoveries that you have…

Compliance policy reports are typically fairly easy to test. The fun is testing Config Change Templates and figuring out what the variables will accurately output. To assist with that I created a Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) scriptcalled echo. Then I just create a change template that runs the script followed by the…

All of my experiments has shown that it is not possible to do logic within a change template or script. You can do extremely basic string manipulation (String AB = StringA + StringB). However if that functionality is absolutely required for the config change your are trying to push you could look into leveraging scripts on…

First you need to get the new names into a custom property (use excel) and then just use a config change template to apply the name. This may be possible with a standard NCM script, but I personally only use those for things without variables. You could even extract your 3rd and 4th octets into custom proprieties and build…

I have dealt with a similar issue. I solved it by created groups starting from the last items in the dependency chain and moved up. I now have groups for everything except our router and core switch at each remote site. I then setup dependencies between the groups up the the core switch. At that point the auto dependency…

This is going to be a very ugly suggestion, but it should work. Create a variable for each line of the banner and then just call the variable. You will probably need an enter variable so I would see it looking something like the below. When inserting the below section of a template it did verify, but I wasn't able to fully…

I have not see a way of doing arithmetic within NCM config change templates. It does string changes as you have observed. If you are trying to solve a particular scripting issue (beyond math) let us know that issue and I can try to help with that.

You could use a config change template. The one below should be close to working, though you may have to put the command into a string using simple string manipulations. Using a template could allow you do choose the transfer type, file to be copied, destination, and just about anything else you can set as a variable or a…

I am not certain as I haven't needed to try it, but you may be able to create a custom poller package and use SNMP polling method for the device. Beyond that I think SAM may be able to fill this need better from the little I have seen of the custom applications that other people have set up for UPS monitoring and the like.

As petr.klang said NBAR2 will really help with this, but I have found a passable work around. Basically you just create IP groups for each of the O365 applications. The IPs can be found here. This will require entering a LOT of IPs into the group you will have to keep in mind that basing things off of just an IP is going…

This is fairly simply to due with compliance policies. I only use 2 rules to fix this for all of my Cisco IOS/IOS XE devices. First rule is to remove any non-approved NTP servers The other is to input the new correct servers. Setup in this way I have been able to turn on auto-remediation for them and having had an issue…

neomatrix1217 is correct. There is not a NCM or NPM application that you use to monitor or manage. Most of the features have move to the web UI. There are a few exception like SNMP trap alerts, syslog trap alerts, and the old style report writer (though I would try to use this a seldom as possible as I can see them phasing…

You could use an advanced config search within the rule and search for the config block starting with a regex of all of your valid interface names. The picture should show what I am talking about quicker than me trying to type it all. 1.1.1.1 is the old DHCP and 2.2.2.2 is the new DHCP in this picture.

Depending on what exactly what peices of IWAN you are implementing you can monitor it in SolarWinds with NPM. We are currently running serveral peices of IWAN and monitoring is easy for most of it. That said I will try to give you an idea of what I have implemented and where I have seen any issues. Cisco Cloud Web Security…

If all you want to do is change from one vlan to another I would strongly recommend using just a compliance policy. Just use the advanced config search, narrow it down to a config block, use regex to outline all possible interfaces you want to match (RegExr: Learn, Build, & Test RegEx) and then specify what command you…

I havn't tried it in the latest version, but previously all NCM users would still need to go through approval.

I would add the node via network discovery and using a list of IPs (take from your excel file). Ensure you have the correct credentials for SNMP and NCM and then just let solarwinds do a lot of the work for you. This works best if you have a limited number of usernames and passwords as it will go through each…

In you alert trigger conditions enable the Complex Conditions (check box at the bottom) and then enable the "Alert can be triggered if ..."

In this situation I would probably look for and space like mesverrum​ stated or I use (\r|\n) for Cisco configs. So maybe a hybrid of the 2 ideas (\s|\n|\r).

i find the time options in the web reporting to be a bit rescriptive, but this is how you would enable them per content section in a report. 1. Edit the table (I think charts have the time option by default). 2. Ensure you have whatever time resource you want to compare against in the table layout. 2. Find this section and…

You might try the below as it should catch any white space that you may be overlooking. You may also replace all of the spaces with \s+ to ensure that is isn't a tab or some other white space. ^\s*authentication mode hmac-sha-256.*

I have not looked into this in depth yet, but syslog or SNMP trap alerts would be the easiest way to create an alert for it, but that depends on the type of port security you implemented. If your violation mode is protect then there is no syslog or trap sent so you may want to reconsider that.

I believe it is sorted by the Connection ID number, you could theoretically modify it in the database to have it short in the desired way. However you will need to reassign any modified connection profiles and it could cause devices to report failed login attempts depending on how you have everything scheduled.

While it is possible to script what you want. It may not be as easy as you think. I am going to make a few assumptions based on what you stated. First off, I am going to approach with the belief that IP you need to change is the only IP on the SW and that they are on a single LAN. In that case we need to do a bit of work…

I will respond to this post as well to make sure other people can find answers. I originally posted at https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-188750 \copypaste 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…
