Configuration snapshots

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.
