Audit

This feature is available at Tenant level only.

When managing multiple firewalls in an environment with multiple users, you want to be able to audit changes made by all the users to firewall address objects and groups. Network Security Manager shows who made changes that affect the rules and overall security of your devices.

This data is shown in the Audit table at Manager View | Home > Config Management > Audit. You can adjust the period of the audit by adjusting the slider at the top of the page to the predefined values. The table lists all the commits performed by the users on any device selected from the Devices drop-down list.

To view the configuration of the device after any particular commit / deploy operation, click caret icon next to the DATE & TIME field of the commit.

To view differences between configurations

  1. Navigate to Manager View | Home > Config Management > Audit page.
  2. Select two commits to compare.

  3. Click Config Diff.

    A color-coded display shows where the differences appear.

    • Green text represents configuration data that was added.
    • Red text represents data that was deleted.
    • Blue is the value of the parameter.
  4. Click Full Diff to see a side-by-side comparison of the complete difference in configurations.
