Viewing the pre- and post-configuration snapshot

You can create a device configuration payload that issues device-monitoring commands to the devices when the payload is deployed. Device-monitoring commands can be issued before (pre-configuration snapshot), after (post-configuration snapshot), or before and after (pre-payload deployment and post-payload deployment).

Outputs of the device-monitoring commands are available as configuration snapshots. To view these snapshots, complete the following steps.

1.Click the IP tab.

2.Select Configure > Configuration > Configuration Repository.

3.Click the Configuration Snapshots tab.

4.Select a device from the Product Name column to display the configuration snapshots that are available for that device.

5.Click View to display information for that deployment.

The View Pre/Post Configuration Snapshot dialog box displays details of the selected configuration.

NOTE

You can view only one snapshot at a time.

Manual Configuration Snapshot Retrieval, which identifies a configuration retrieved by clicking the Save Snapshot button.

INTERNAL:user-date&time, which indicates a payload deployment with pre- or post-snapshot properties, but the payload was not saved.
