Introduction

ScienceLogic has partnered with LogicVein Net LineDancer to manage configuration of network devices, including routers and switches.

Net LineDancer provides inventory reports, detailed hardware and software information of their devices, configuration comparison and history, password change, automated detection of configuration changes, and integration with network monitoring systems. Net LineDancer is integrated with SL1; you can view data from Net LineDancer in ScienceLogic dashboards.

Net LineDancer includes two modules: Core Server, installed on a server device, and SmartBridge, installed on a collector device. ScienceLogic supports installing Net LineDancer SmartBridge software on ScienceLogic Data Collectors.

Use the following menu options to navigate the SL1 user interface:

Network device management – Automation and Centralization – High Productivity, Security, Robustness Visualization + + Automation Intuitive UI Centralized and Safe Management Tool ** 11 kinds of view of CMDB (con guration backup) History management IP Address Hostnames Model names OS version Serial Number Tag, grouping Vendor names Command Running Status Last Edit of the configuration Location, EOS,EOL (user permission and data) 2

3 Primary Objective Configuration backup, review, restore Flexible Batch Operation Tracking the Version History Providing a Better Interface Managing the Inventory 3

4 Watch the Configuration and Inventory With Just a Few Clicks! Double-click on each row Click on the Configuration History General HW/Interface Information Visit the Actual Configuration 4

5 Take a Diff between the Configurations, which is Automatically Collected Click on the Device to compare its configurations Select the Configurations Changes are highlighted 5

6 Changing the Specific Part of the Configuration Without Actually Touching the Source These can also be changed in a few clicks! Changing the SNMP Trap Host, Community Name Choose a Device Changing the Enable Password No need to concern about the vendor and the model difference! 6

7 Command Runner Fundamental Flexibility: Send Any Commands You Wish Running a set of commands on any specific (single, multiple) devices! 7

8 Distributing and Retrieving the OS image Vendors Currently Supported: Cisco IOS NEC WA 8

9 Managing the Inventory Appending a Custom Field is Available! Changing the Custom Field Column Name And the Information is Integrated with the Inventory Importing/Exporting the Inventory Data from/to an spreadsheet is available! 9

10 Advanced Search Pane Search the Inventory with a Combined Query! e.g. 1. Hostname: C* (wildcard available) 2. Vendor: Cisco 3. foo: Tokyo (custom field) Search Pane Results 10

11 Reporting the Hardware Inventory Report Summerize the Inventory, Quick! Choose the Report Type Choose the Format And we get a excellent summary! 11

12 Scheduling a Job All of the previous features can be scheduled to run automatically! Use Case: Automating the Backup Changing the Passwords, Entirely, Periodically (against insider s attack!) Changing the Access List Periodically Automating the Commands (Cisco SHOW commands etc.) Automating the Commands (set of complex commands) (Reusing the template with minor changes is now convenient! Even the unskilled novice programmers can manage the network safely.) Further Imagination is up to you! 12Net LineDancer builds a comprehensive database of your network using automatic device inventory discovery, hardware and software detail collection, and configuration backup, allowing you to see detailed information about each of your devices. Net LineDancer also provides extensive support for performing automated changes against large heterogeneous inventories. Net LineDancer can also integrate with any SNMP monitoring solution by sending SNMP traps whenever a configuration change is detected. By using Net LineDancer you can easily detected all non-approved configuration changes and eliminate common configuration mistakes. With all this Net LineDancer can easily bring even the largest of networks under control.Main Features 1
