Thanks for the reply. It's been many years since using SW in anger and currently refreshing myself with it. So it looks like the custom query is very powerful so I will take a proper look at that. I must say though Im surprised Solarwinds have gone in this direction. Don't get me wrong having this capability is great…

ok, thanks I'll take a look at that. 

Yes sorry I have that installed as well. I can see some of my switches with CDP information in the dashboard under 'NPM Network Topology' but its not showing all the CDP neighbors which is odd?

Thank you for the responses. I have tried the python modules and they work well. Python is not my strongest area though but I have had some degree of success with Ansible in automation tasks particularly looping with variable data. If I can call the python scripts and inject my variable data into that as I do my playbooks…

Hi Rick, So generally for bulk changes we would avoid the GUI as its quite slow and cumbersome, instead opting for using postman, python and Ansible. I was wondering if we could use NCM as an alternative to these tools pushing XML or JSON to the APIC's? I dont have extensive knowledge of NCM so not sure if it can use REST?…
