The Configuration Summary displays a color-coded output of the router's configuration.
Log into NetCloud Manager.
The Devices page displays.
Select a device from the grid.
From the Configuration drop-down menu, select .
Use the Tree and Path buttons to toggle between JSON and dot-notated views of a device's configuration settings. Click the button to see where individual router settings override their group settings.
The target configuration displays the total sum of the different configurations the router is running:
Settings in purple are from the Group configuration in NetCloud Manager
Settings in green are from the Device configuration in NetCloud Manager
Settings in grey exist only on the router's local configuration file, and are not synced to the Device configuration in NetCloud Manager (possibly because the config sync was suspended, or the router went offline before syncing)
Select any of the tabs to view more specific information about the configuration:
Target: The configuration resulting from the individual configuration being layered over its group configuration.
Pending: The difference between the Target and Actual configurations on routers not yet synced.
Actual: A device's current configuration.
Individual: The individual configuration for a device.
Group: The group configuration for a device's group, if the device is a member of a group.
Version History: Use the Version History tab to view what router configurations look like before and after changes to them. The changes are highlighted similar to how changes are indicated in common diff tools. Deletions to the configuration are highlighted in red while additions to the configuration are highlighted in green.
The Version History drawer contains details about the changes that were made including the date and time of the change. The label for each version history entry shows where the configuration change came from.
User changes: Changes made by a user via NetCloud Manager's configuration editor or in the NetCloud OS local user interface, and from changes initiated by using the API v2 configuration_managers endpoint.
System changes: Changes made to a configuration as the result of other activities in NetCloud Manager like updating the router's NetCloud OS version.
A Success or Failure label is also shown to indicate if the config change succeeded or failed. The title and summary of the config change entry can be edited by clicking the ellipsis icon (...).
The entries in the Version History drawer can be clicked to highlight the change in the configuration.
When a config change fails, none of the config changes are applied.
