software packages, various versions of configuration files may prove useful to a system at any given
time. Remember, only the latest version can be deployed.
7.4.2.9.3.1. System Details Configuration Overview
This subtab provides access to the configuration statistics of your system and to the most common
tasks used to manage configuration files. You may change the settings listed under Configuration
Stats by clicking on the blue text for that setting. Alternatively, you may perform any of the common
configuration management tasks listed on the right of the screen by clicking one of the links.
7.4.2.9.3.2. System Details Configuration Managed Files
This subtab lists all configuration files currently associated with the system.
Filename
This column shows both the name and the deployment path for this file.
Revision
This column increments any time you make a change to the managed file.
From Config Channel
This column indicates the name of the channel that contains the file, or displays (system
override) for files available to this system only.
Overrides
If this configuration file overrides another, the overridden file is listed in this column along with its
host channel.
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 configuration file in an unsubscribed channel that would replace
the same file in a currently subscribed channel. For example, 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).
7.4.2.9.3.3. System Details Configuration Compare Files
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.
