If you wish to deploy any of these files to the client system, overwriting any changes that have been
made locally, check the box to the left of the file and click the Deploy Configuration button. On the
following screen, choose a deployment time and click the Schedule Deploy button to confirm.
Note
If you click on the Filename of a (system override) file, you can edit its contents.
The Overrides column identifies the config file from which channel will apply if the system is
unsubscribed from the config channel that provides the file now. For instance, if a system has '/etc/
foo' from channel 'bar' and '/etc/foo' from channel 'baz' is in the Overrides column, then unsubscribing
from channel 'bar' will mean that the file from channel 'baz' will be applicable. Also, if nothing is in the
'Overrides' column for a given file path, then unsubscribing from the channel providing the file will
mean that the file is no longer managed (though it will not remove the file from the system).
6.4.2.9.3.3. System Details
This subtab compares a configuration file as stored on the Satellite with the file as it exists on the
client. (It does not, for example, compare versions of the same file stored in different channels.) Select
the files to be diffed, click the Compare Files button, select a time to perform the diff, and click the
Schedule Compare button to confirm. After the diff has been performed, you may return to this page
to view the results.
6.4.2.9.3.4. System Details
This subtab allows you to subscribe to and rank configuration channels that may be associated with
the system, lowest first.
The List/Unsubscribe from Channels subtab contains a list of the system's configuration channel
subscriptions. Click the checkbox next to the Channel and click Unsubscribe to remove the
subscription to the channel.
The Subscribe to Channels subtab lists all available configuration channels. To subscribe to a
channel, select the checkbox next to it and press Continue. To subscribe to all configuration channels,
click Select All and press Continue. The View/Modify Rankings page automatically loads.
The View/Modify Rankings subtab allows users rank the priority in which files from a particular
configuration channel are weighted. The higher the channel is on the list, the more its files take
precedence over files on lower-ranked channels (for example, the higher-ranked channel may have an
httpd.conf file that will take precedence over the file on lower-ranked channel)
