So this works... at least the query works. But when I put it in a report it fails. I set it as an Advanced Database Query, set it as SQL, and even the PREVIEW RESULTS works great. But when I put it in the report I get an error "Report resource failed to properly initialize" and then the details have "Error setting up…

Wow, thank you so much for your help. Way above and beyond Marc! For the record, here is the working little script: /*.CHANGE_TEMPLATE_DESCRIPTION Set syslog log-prefix for Juniper JUNOS devices.PLATFORM_DESCRIPTION Juniper JUNOS.PARAMETER_LABEL @ContextNode NCM Node.PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION @ContextNode The node the template…

The history is what's important for me most often, to build a baseline so to speak. Therefore for me it would be on all the time. Smokeping just uses RRDs with RRDTool so it's super simple and really fast, even with a significant amount of history. I'd hate to see the additional load of 1000's of pings and all the…

No joy. I tried: set system syslog host 10.1.1.1 log-prefix @ContextNode.Caption Got: Error:Variable @ContextNode.Caption could not be matched. Possible causes of this are: 1) It has not been declared. 2) You are referencing an entity property which does not exist. 3) You are missing a closing bracket in a prior native…

Thank you for the info. While i was not able to follow the guidance closely, it did give me some insight. I am not skilled in PowerShell, and really not even sure about SWSQL either... so I used what I could figure out. * Exported the latest config files to a separate working directory, using the current Caption as the…

I'm not against IPSLA and I understand the features that it brings. I just don't want to license that either from Cisco or Solarwinds. Smokeping is free and at the heart is very simple. I find it hard to live without reasonably accurate and more frequent latency tracking and assumed that others may have felt the same way…

Thank you!

Samantha, Thank you for your contribution. Unfortunately your solution doesn't fit our need. We have the 3 different schedules to fit a specific alerting timing schedule. After-hours and weekends we want a 15 minute delay to avoid paging out on short blips. During business-hours we want to be paged right away to speed up…

This sounds perfect! Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I've tried various things but can't seem to get the rule to recognize each neighbor statement group programmatically and then verify if there is a password statement. The neighbor IP will vary with each router so I can't look for a specific IP. If using the neighbor statement as a block start, I do not know how to make a…

Thank you for the response.

This worked perfectly, thank you!!

The syslogs (I'm also using traps) go directly to the Orion server. Is there a way to do that delay in the syslog and trap processing of Orion?

My change was successful and here is how I accomplished this: * In the Network Configuration Manager GUI on the server, select a device. * Click the Configs menu item then Config Change Report. * Click the button in the bottom right labeled Edit Comparison Criteria. * Click Add Pattern, give it a title and a regular…

I didn't realize I could save command output to a custom property! This would be really smooth and I would love to see how you did it once you find that! THANKS!

Thanks! I'm a newb when it comes to this type of stuff but I'm going to give it a shot.

I've seen this when the actual interface speed was incorrectly identified. Editing the interface and changing the speed to the actual was the fix for me. Not sure if this is the same issue you're having but might be worth a look.

Thank you for the suggestion however, I have just tried that and it doesn't validate. set system syslog host 10.1.1.1 log-prefix "${Caption}" Validation Failed: An error occurred during script parsing. Position: Line 19, Character 61 Error message: no viable alternative at character '"' Please check script syntax.

Thanks for the feedback. Sadly, Aruba does not support a no-page command when displaying their configs. I'll look into options for download via SCP or TFTP.

Worked great! Thanks!

@"rschroeder"did you ever find a solution? I see a lot of unanswered or poorly answered questions just like yours out there. TIA, Eric

Let me try from another angle - is there no way to filter discovery and automatic interface adds based on some sort of criteria (regex, interface type, or etc.)?

Anthony, Did you ever find this answer? Thanks, Eric

Do I get a special prize for stumping the pros?

I think I have this figured out by using the CLI. I'll work on this and post back a solution in case some other newbies like me need a pointer.
