Device Configuration Management Log - Extreme Networks EPICenter Guide Manual

Managing Network Device Configurations and Updates
Figure 49 shows an example of a report generated when EPICenter detects a difference between an
archived configuration and the baseline configuration for a device. The report is created as a PDF file,
and you can configure EPICenter to automatically email the file to recipients you designate.
Figure 49: Configuration change report for changes detected in an archived configuration
EPICenter will combine into one report any differences detected in archive operations that occur within
a 10 hour time frame, to avoid generating many small reports. If you have a large number of devices
that you are archiving, you may want to schedule them in groups with a time lapse in between that is
sufficient for EPICenter to save and email a completed report.
Configuration files that are larger than 1 Mbyte cannot be analyzed with the automatic change detection
feature.

Device Configuration Management Log

In the Configuration Manager, you can view the status of the most recent configuration management
activity and its status—the date and time and result of the last activity (upload or download) for each
device. However, there may be times when you want to view a history of the configuration
management activities for a device, or for all devices.
Through the EPICenter Configuration Management Activity Report, you can view a historical log of all
the configuration management activities performed through EPICenter, showing the status of the
operation (whether it succeeded or failed) with additional information about the reason for the failure,
if appropriate.
