What are the options in Smarts NCM to pull the config on devices on monthly basis?
Is it possible for Smarts NCM to pull the conifig on a monthly basis only for devices which have been modified?
Can Smarts NCM pull the device config report on a monthly basis for devices that have been modified for 'N' number of times?
Scenario: If there are 50 Devices in the environment, and the device configuration has been randomly changed/modified for only 25 to 30 devices, can Smarts NCM pull config for only those 25 to 30 devices on a monthly basis?

Scenario: Out of some total number of devices where the config has been changed in a few devices for 'N' number of times, can Smarts NCM pull the report for only those devices on which the config has been modified 'N' number of times?
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - NCM
Resolution
When the configuration is changed for a device in the Smarts NCM environment, an SNMP trap or Syslog is generated. If the devices are configured to send those traps/syslogs to Smarts NCM, a pull is scheduled automatically after reception of the trap or Syslog messages. This pull is generated automatically based on message receipt and cannot be scheduled on monthly basis. Also, Smarts NCM cannot track and pull a report based the number of times a device configuration has been modified.
