Installing Device Configurations : Checking device configuration status
 
Checking device configuration status
In the Device Manager module, when you select a device, you can view that device’s basic information under the device dashboard. You can also check if the current configuration file of the device stored in the FortiManager repository is in sync with the one running on the device.
If you make any configuration changes to a device directly, rather than using the FortiManager system, the configuration on the device and the configuration saved in the FortiManager repository will be out of sync. In this case, you can resynchronize with the device by retrieving the configuration from the device and saving it to the FortiManager repository.
You can use the following procedures when checking device configuration status on a FortiGate, FortiCarrier, or FortiSwitch.
To check the status of a configuration installation on a FortiGate unit:
1. Go to the Device Manager module, select the ADOM, and device group.
2. On the All FortiGate page, select the FortiGate unit that you want to check the configuration status of.
You are automatically redirected to the device dashboard of that unit.
3. On the dashboard, locate the Configuration and Installation Status widget.
4. Verify the status in the Installation Tracking row.
