My favorite is using the power of Solarwinds Orion as a cmdb to provide asset life cycle compliance or "suspect" reports. For example once we identify the proper way to provision or decommission nodes,interfaces,IP's,etc then I can run a report that returns anything outside this range. Examples like:
- interfaces admin up but no description or vise versa
- nodes in production with no asset tag listed
- IP's assigned returning no reverse DNS or no comments
- IP's listing as transient for more then 30days
- subnets provisioned with no vlan ID or descriptions
etc
Once you get them down to a manageable level then combine them into larger combined reports.
Any additional ideas for suspect reports?
