Searching for device configurations

Search using native CLI configuration lines: CLI can be used alongside evaluation criteria to match CLI configuration lines against the device configuration stored in Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance. The evaluation criteria can be used to determine whether all, any, one or none of these CLI configuration lines are present in the configuration., e.g no cdp run, no ip bootp server. Please refer to: Managing Compliance Definitions for further information on executing show commands.

Search using native commands: The device settings can be evaluated and searched by executing native (show) commands against the device. A show command can be executed against the device to retrieve specific information, e.g. show version, show config. Show commands are executed via Netcool Configuration Manager - Base, and the feedback read intoNetcool Configuration Manager - Compliance. Please refer to: Managing Compliance Definitions for further information on executing show commands.

Search using device models: Device settings can be searched for specific lines or fragments of device configuration using device models. Modelled definitions are based on XPaths. An XPath is a search mechanism used in XML. Please refer to: Managing Compliance Definitions for further information on executing show commands.
