Elements of configuration management apply across numerous parts of NetMRI, including the Device Viewer, which provides its Configuration Management section for viewing and editing specific config files and viewing their history, and the Settings window, which provides a set of global settings for configuration management.
NetMRI also filters 'collection noise,' by removing artifacts from the configuration collection process, filtering elements such as command prompts, line breaks and page breaks, and extraneous header/footer information during configuration data collection. This process occurs automatically without user intervention.
You can also filter and ignore configuration changes executed by automated systems, or changes executed through a NetMRI Automated Change Management (ACM) process, using a designated login, which the admin may wish NetMRI to ignore while the job executes. For more information, see Filtering Change Notifications from User Accounts.

You can define change blackouts for device groups and for networks. Change blackouts allow for read-only discovery and data collection from devices involved in the blackout but prevent any status or configuration changes to them. For more information, see Defining Blackout Periods. |
