You audit the configuration in the template that is already
deployed to the devices. You perform an audit to verify the extent
to which the configuration in the template and that on the deployed
devices match. You can use this workflow to audit both Configuration
templates and Quick templates.
To audit a template configuration:
- On the Junos Space Network Management Platform user interface,
select Device Templates > Templates.
The Templates page is displayed.
- Select the template whose deployment you want to audit
and select Audit Template Configuration from the Actions
menu.
The Audit Template Configuration page is displayed. You can
view the name of the template, current selected version of the template,
Junos OS version of the template, and devices that belong to the same
device family. The Include All Managed Devices check box
ix selected by default. Clear this selection to list only those devices
that are UP and INSYNC states if you select All in the Selected Template Version drop-down list. If you select a specific
template version, all devices that have the specified version of the
template deployed and are in UP or INSYNC states are listed.
- (Optional) From the Selected Template Version drop-down list, select the version of the template.
The list of devices displayed is filtered according to the version
of the template you select in this field. The list is filtered to
display only those devices on which the template is currently deployed.
- You can select devices manually, by filtering devices
by device properties, by using tags, or by providing a CSV file with
filter criteria:
To search for devices manually, enter the search criteria
in the Search field and click the Search icon.
The list of devices are filtered by the search criteria.
To filter devices by device properties, select the check
box next to the appropriate device on the Column Filter drop-down list.
To select devices by using tags, select an appropriate
tag from the Tag Filter drop-down list.

Filter icon and upload the CSV file with the filter criteria by using

button.
Enter the date in the Date field in DD/MM/YYYY
format.

- (Optional) Click the Recurrence check box and
specify the frequency at which to audit the device template configuration
against the configuration in the devices.
- Click Finish.
The Audit Template Job Information page is displayed.
- Click OK to close the page.
You are redirected to the Templates page.
To view the results of the job triggered for this auditing,
click the job ID on the Audit Template Job Information page. You are
redirected to the Job Management page with a filtered view of the
job. Double-click the row corresponding to the job to view the detailed
status of the job on the Compare Config Job Status page. For devices
that are OUTOFSYNC or DOWN, the summary of the job displays a warning
message.
To export the report of auditing the template configuration,
click the Export button. You are prompted to save the file.
Click OK on the File Save page to save the file.
The details of the auditing job, along with the warning message,
are listed in the exported report.
After you save the file, to return to the Job Management page,
click the [X] icon on the Compare Config Job Status page.
Note: Each audit is performed as a job. It might take some time
to finish auditing if a large number of devices was selected for auditing.
The possible statuses for a template audit are:
INSYNC— The configurations in the template
and on the device are the same.
OUTOFSYNC— The configuration in the template
is different from that on the device.
NOTAVAIL— The configuration in the template
is not available on the device. This status is displayed when no audit
is performed on a device for a particular template.
You can view these statuses in the Summary column on the Job
Management page.
