For anyone out there using BSUS, how many services do you have in override mode and of those, are you managing them using scripts or manually?

Blocking inherited 'allow MAC Pool'

I set a list of ‘allow MAC Pool’ for a block, but for one specific network I want an open DHCP range.  I cannot figure out how to block the inherited ‘allow MAC Pool’s, or set an ‘allow any’.  I really don’t want to have to copy and maintain a list of ‘allow MAC Pool’s on every network individually.

Integrity implementation of RPZ

Can anyone from Bluecat comment on the factors that went into the implementation choices for local RPZ zones? Rather than managing actions record-by-record in an RPZ, Integrity writes out a default policy for each zone in the named.conf (and then writes all the records’s (“response policy items” in BAM parlance) rdata as “CNAME .” in the zone file.)This means ALL response policy items in a given response policy (zone) have the same action.  If you want a different action, you have to create a different response policy - and BIND has an upper limit of 64 RPZs.  So essentially I can only have 64 unique responses via local RPZ under Integrity.RPZ itself (natively, in BIND) is much more flexible.  For any given RPZ I can have thousands of records in them each with their own unique action.  So if I have a one-off DNS zone or particular FQDN I want to override resolution for, I don’t have a burn one of my 64 available zones to do so, as Integrity is forcing us to do - I just place the record

Cloud DHCP and Integrity

Would be great if we can use BAM to view all cloud DHCP logs, monitor leases and MAC addresses. much easier than trying to run tools or create query statements just to find a DHCP lease for particular MAC. Does BlueCat have a roadmap and/or plans monitoring cloud DHCP lease data? May in the future pull this data into BAM from CDV?

What is Integrity?

I am wondering is the Integrity release replacing/upgrade to BlueCat Address Manager or is it a completely different product?

API Conversion from V1 to V2 GetLinkedEntites

Hello,I’m working on converting all our scripts from V1 to V2 of the API on version 9.6.1, but I’m struggling to find the right call to replace “GetLinkedEntities”.  For reference, we’re needing to do a search by MacAddress and return all the IP Addresses associated with that mac address, or even a single IP associated with that address.   The V1 to V2 guide lists several API Areas where this should be possible:GET /api/v2/tags/{collectionId}/taggedResources GET /api/v2/userGroups/{collectionId}/users GET /api/v2/addreses/{collectionId}/resourceRecords GET /api/v2/resourceRecords/{collectionId}/dependentRecords GET /api/v2/macPools/{collectionId}/macAddresses GET /api/v2/serverGroups/{collectionId}/servers GET /api/v2/locations/{collectionId}/annotatedResourcesHowever, I have had zero luck getting any of these to work at all.  I can do a straight mac address search and return the MacID without any issues, but getting all the linked entities to this mac address within the system has bee

Is there private chat in this forum?

In Slack, it was occasionally helpful to privately message someone.   Does that functionality exist in this forum?

Photos from my recent trip to CMX Community Conference in SF!

I recently wen’t on a trip to CMX summit in SF. It’s a yearly conference focused on building communities. It’s always full of awesome ideas and learnings that I try and take back and apply to this community for you all. Before the conference, I had ½ a day in San Francisco and took my new camera to play around with it. I thought I’d post some of the photos in this community fun thread and kick it off. While the community is definitely here for you all to learn we can also have fun too 😉. I encourage you to post in this channel if you have anything fun to share!

New SFTP server

As some of you may have heard from your Customer Care representative, Customer Care is rolling out a new SFTP server.This new system will replace bluecatsftp.bluecatnetworks.com. The hostname has changed, it is now transfer.bluecatnetworks.com. Eventually, the old host record will point to this new server, but during this time of transition, they will be separate.SFTP services on transfer.bluecatnetworks.com are currently available to you. You should start using this server as soon as you need to send data to Customer Care or Professional Services. We understand your change-management cycles to allow traffic to this system may not be swift, so we will have both running in parallel for a few weeks. We plan to shutting down the SFTP service on the old system on 12 May 2025. If your change-management process does not allow for that quick of a turn-around, we can work with you.This system remains SFTP-only. You will continue to use your current SFTP client. There is a new option available

Gateway / BSUS

Has anyone gotten BSUS working on PodMan. We are not wanting to install Docker CE becuase our server team does not support Redhat Unix and Docker any more. We have moved everything to Oracle Linix and PodMan. So far the repomse from Bluecat is that they do not know if BSUS would work on PodMan and that it wouldn;t be supported. They have not tested the application that configuration.

Network VIPs Ranks and BadgesGuide

 A quick guide to note some of the differences between ranks and badges in Network VIP!Ranks Ranks accrue over time based on your depth and variety of engagement on the Community indicating the value you have brought to the Community over time. Ranks are automatic and denoted by the icons against your profile pic. You can also check your position on the community leaderboard Badges The Badges you spot in the pop-out while hovering over the user profile pics or on users' profiles are tailored for the various initiatives the user participates in on the Community.

Edge Service Points and service management

I would love to get the community’s thoughts on this topic.When working with Edge Service Points and various Edge services such DNS Resolver Service (DRS), Identity, Discovery etc, do you prefer to manage services and more specifically updates to services individually or would much rather prefer that the service updates be bundled inside the Service Point update (somewhat similar to BDDS and BIND/DHCPD package versions)?Since the launch of Service Points v4 we allow services to be independently deployed and upgraded as long as the service point version allows for that specific service version to run. As more services are added, is it getting complex to manage them individually? If you have another view on this please reply to this post. Looking forward to responses! :D
