Unit Status of the firewall acquired on NSM remains Online/Managed after locally modified
Description
Unit Status remain Online/Managed after locally modified.
Cause
When making any changes locally on the firewall, no alerts are triggered for "Unit Locally Modified" and device status in NSM remains online/managed.
For the firewalls which are acquired via Zero Touch on NSM, local device changes are detected only when password is set for the firewall through NSM.
This is required to decrypt the syslog heartbeats from the firewall.
