Orion NCM Feature » Real-time Change Notifications


  • Receive instant notifications when device configuration changes occur
  • Perform real-time monitoring of network configuration changes
  • Coordinate notifications from Orion NCM’s built-in Syslog and SNMP Trap Server

Where were you when the network went down? Response time is critical in network outages and you need to have the resources at your fingertips to immediately begin troubleshooting the cause.

Orion Network Configuration Manager (NCM) detects changes that occur to the configurations of monitored devices in real time and notifies you instantly of these changes – giving you more control, instant visibility, and improved security in your network environment. Additionally, this feature enables you to quickly isolate and eliminate a configuration change as the cause of a network problem.

Orion NCM relies on a built-in Syslog Server and SNMP Trap Receiver to log configuration change events and to immediately alert you. When Orion NCM detects a configuration change on a device, the system automatically downloads the new configuration and compares it to the existing baseline or the last downloaded configuration. You are then immediately notified of the differences between the new configuration and the old configuration, giving you complete control over the change management process.

"Price is also worth mentioning here. With availability in September, Orion Network Configuration Manager Version 5 will be available with prices starting at $2,495, which includes a year of maintenance. This base price is roughly twenty times less expensive than any of the mainstream NCCM solutions!"
