Health Status Report in Network Configuration Manager
The Health Status Report provides a centralized view of the backup and compliance health of your Network Configuration Manager monitors. This report helps you quickly identify backup failures, policy violations, and configuration mismatches.
Use cases
-
Audit backup consistency: Instantly detect which devices missed recent configuration backups.
-
Policy enforcement: Review compliance with your organization's configuration standards.
-
Troubleshooting: Spot misaligned startup and running configurations that may lead to issues after a reboot.
-
Life cycle management: Combine this view with EOS/EOL data to prioritize attention on aging infrastructure.
