Every night we have job running that takes a backup of the running config of all devices if there is changes during the day.
Now I'm seeking to make a script that runs after the backup job and that automatically renames each config according to some parameters I specify.
I'm very new to coding in SolarWinds (but not to coding in general!) so I'm not sure how to approach this and what the standard way of doing it is in SolarWinds. I looked in the NCM administration guide and the only things I can find about scripting is to make device specific configurations. This script is more likely to be executed on the SolarWinds server itself as it modifies the content in the local database.
What kind of script can I use to connect to the SolarWinds database to obtain a list of configurations? C#, PowerShell, VBscript or something else?
Can someone give an example of how to connect to the SolarWinds database using the configuration from the local SolarWinds installation and fetching all configurations from the last day?
