With this tool, you can track Configuration Revisions and any changes made to Devices.

This diagnostic tool offers the following features:

  • You can create a set of commands to be run as diagnostics for each Device Class, or for each device. Commands can be either Terminal Commands or Device Server Commands . 

  • You select the specific Device Class, and the Devices within that class then have the Diagnostic commands run against them. Whenever a Configuration Revision is created, the Diagnostic Command automatically runs against the Device. 

  • You can designate how soon after a configuration change has been made to the Devices (within the Device Class) to automatically run the diagnostic commands.  

  • The Diagnostic results are revisioned and stored. 

  • You can view the diagnostic data in the History tab (selected from Device Properties). 

  • You can compare the results of two diagnostic revisions.

The diagnostic data is always associated (linked) with a revision. If there are no configuration revisions , there will not be any diagnostic revision data .
