still having trouble with UDT, having to perform a sonar, selecting credentials for devices i already monitor in NPM. It takes ages!! vwery cumbersome. need to be able to select existing nodes IN NPM, bulk or individually (using group by custom properties etc). Having to supply ip addresses is a major issue for sonar. to get around this as i was half way through adding all sites (1000's devices when i needed to upgrade).
To get around the weird sonar issue, I created a sql view mapping nodes, to UDT_NodeCapability
| SELECT | dbo.Nodes.Caption, dbo.Nodes.IP_Address, dbo.UDT_NodeCapability.NodeID, dbo.Nodes.DCC_County, dbo.Nodes.DCC_Area_Code, |
| dbo.Nodes.DCC_Area_Description, dbo.Nodes.DCC_SiteName | |
| FROM | dbo.Nodes INNER JOIN |
| dbo.UDT_NodeCapability ON dbo.Nodes.NodeID = dbo.UDT_NodeCapability.NodeID |
GROUP BY dbo.Nodes.Caption, dbo.Nodes.IP_Address, dbo.UDT_NodeCapability.NodeID, dbo.Nodes.DCC_County, dbo.Nodes.DCC_Area_Code,
| dbo.Nodes.DCC_Area_Description, dbo.Nodes.DCC_SiteName |
then a 2nd sql view that selected all nodes that I needed to import (305) using sonar, that were not already part of UDT and had the following filters.
| SELECT | TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.Nodes.NodeID, dbo.Nodes.Caption, dbo.Nodes.IP_Address, dbo.Nodes.DCC_County, dbo.Nodes.DCC_Area_Code, |
| dbo.Nodes.DCC_Site_Code, dbo.Nodes.DCC_Area_Description, dbo.Nodes.DCC_SiteName, dbo.Nodes.MachineType | |
| FROM | dbo.Nodes LEFT OUTER JOIN |
| dbo.[1_MD_UDT_Nodes_Added] ON dbo.Nodes.NodeID = dbo.[1_MD_UDT_Nodes_Added].NodeID | |
| WHERE | (dbo.[1_MD_UDT_Nodes_Added].NodeID IS NULL) AND (dbo.Nodes.StatusLED = 'Up.gif') AND (dbo.Nodes.Vendor = N'cisco') AND |
| (dbo.Nodes.MachineType <> N'Cisco CSS 11501') AND (dbo.Nodes.MachineType <> N'Cisco 1721') AND (NOT (dbo.Nodes.MachineType LIKE N'Cisco ASA%')) AND | |
| (NOT (dbo.Nodes.MachineType LIKE N'Cisco 1841')) AND (dbo.Nodes.MachineType <> N'Cisco Catalyst 3020') AND | |
| (dbo.Nodes.MachineType <> N'Cisco 4402 Wireless LAN Controller') AND (NOT (dbo.Nodes.MachineType LIKE N'Catalyst 2970%')) AND | |
| (dbo.Nodes.MachineType <> N'Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller') |
ORDER BY dbo.Nodes.Caption
The extracted the IP address added to Sonar to just added the ports on the devices i wished to add to UDT.
works a charm! Although there were 7000 ports to import! seems to of worked so far.
hopefully everyone knows SQL!
