Add a config drift template

Contributors netapp-manishc

You should add a template to compare the system and cluster configurations and detect the configuration deviations in near real time. The config drift templates are added using systems running AutoSupport data.

About this task

The attributes in a config drift template are editable, and the following groups of the template support regular expressions for some sections:

Group Section Attribute

AGGREGATE

AGGR-INFO.XML

name

CLUSTER

CLUSTER-INFO.XML

cluster-name

LUN

LUN.XML

name

VSERVER

VSERVER-INFO.XML

vserver

NETWORK

NETWORK-INTERFACE.XML

vif

DNS

DNS.XML

domains

VOLUME

VOLUME.XML

vol

Using a regular expression, a user can create a config drift report that includes drifts arising from naming inconsistencies of volumes, aggregates, clusters, and so on. For instance, if a regular expression aggr-name* is mentioned for the attribute Name for the section AGGR-INFO.XML in the group AGGREGATE, then the values of the attribute without the prefix aggr-name are marked as a drift when the config drift report is generated.

Steps

  1. From the left pane, click Config Drift.

  2. Click Add Template.

  3. Provide the requested values.

  4. Optional: You can customize the template by editing the groups or deleting the non-required groups for a template.

  5. Click Add Template.
