We commonly receive requests to be able to view configurations, config change reports, and inventory reports from the Cirrus Configuration Manager from the Orion web console.
This feature has been available in the Additional Components section of the Customer Area for quite some time but many users were not aware of its existence. To make it easier, I have included links to the two additional components below.
View Configs from the Orion Website:
ftp://ftp.solarwinds.net/cmb03/cirrus/ConfigListing.zip
View Cirrus Reports from the Orion Website:
ftp://ftp.solarwinds.net/cmb03/cirrus/Cirrus-Reports-View.zip
Haley:The ability to view Cirrus Configs and Reports from the Orion website currently works as long as the Orion server has a mapped drive to the Cirrus server and vice versa. The integration pulls the configs that are saved using the Config Archive feature and reports that are exported as html.
Ok...this will require some firewall changes to allow for the map drive since our NPM server sits in a DMZ. So if there is a way to make this happen via a more secure method like sftp or scp that would be greatly appreciated.

In a future release of Cirrus, we plan to pull the configs from the database and display them on a web console. This update should resolve the security concern :)

Any time frame on when this release will be available?
Thanks
Jon
The current plan is to release this feature in Q4.
Update: This release is now slated for late Q2 or Q3 08.
THANKS!!!
Just noticed that. I can't believe they didn't release something.
I need this link to be a folder listing of all the configurations below that caption folder. Is there any way to edit the ASP code to list the folder contents instead of the configuration backed up from the previous day?
You can modify the any of the files listed within the "View Cirrus configs from the Orion website" zip to include the information you want to see. However, we do not currently have any documentation other than the setup instructions provided within the zip file.
Haley,
Ok thats fine. I was asking anyone that was part of this thread really. Since I don't know ASP , maybe someone can give me a hand.
Thanks anyway.

You can upload your files to the content sharing zone to make them more accessible. http://thwack.com/contentsharing/

I do not have Cirrus, but would like to see the device configs from ORION 8.5. Either press a button on the node details screen to view either the running or the start-up config, or a fly open window that would allow you to browse your TFTP Directory. Does anyone have any ideas on how best to view device configs from ORION without Cirrus?

I think I covered this one page back here..
Do all the possible variables work, as ${nodename}, including CustomProperties? I've wanted to add a resource to my Node Details, that has a link to a "Network Diagram" for that particular node, but didn't realize we could use variables in the URLs. I assume if you can use ${nodename}, there would be nothing precluding me from using <img src='http://...${CustomProperty#12345}.jpg'>, etc.
