Config Drift & Audit
Automatically detect configuration drift and run config audits across your multi-vendor network
See if Gluware Config Drift & Audit is right for you
Detect configuration drift, perform ongoing audits
The Gluware Config Drift and Audit solution enables organizations to achieve control over their multi-vendor network device configurations. Config Drift provides the ability to “snapshot” a desired configuration state, and then quickly compare current configuration against that snapshot and identify any changes. In addition, Config Audit provides the ability to quickly and easily define a custom policy or leverage a standard policy to perform an audit for compliance network wide. Users are able to customize the commands used for the snapshot, including configuration and operational state enabling a high degree of customization.
About Config Drift & Audit
The Config Drift and Audit application has been designed for simplicity. The Drift capability allows users to quickly compare two historical device configuration snapshots against each other. When changes are detected, network operators can review the changes, and if appropriate, promote the new snapshot to default with one click. By default, Gluware will capture the running configuration for drift monitoring. Users are also able to customize the capture commands to perform drift on any CLI or API output from the network devices. The Audit capability enables a search across all or a selected set of network devices to determine if there are policy violations either company policy, ad-hoc, or standards-based. Users are able to audit the running configuration or any custom commands that are updated each time the discovery runs.
Results can be exported to share with audit and compliance departments. Config Drift and Audit currently supports 40+ operating systems and is growing based on demand. It is scalable to thousands of devices allowing network operators to always have a near real-time config view across all their vendors and domains.
- Always know if your network is in policy and/or what has changed
- Enhanced security identifying unauthorized changes and statements that take a device out of policy
- Audit policies can include rules for each OS running in your network providing significant consolidation over a scripted per OS approach
- Instantly identify changes in the network to speed the troubleshooting process
- Execute network-wide audits rapidly leveraging the already captured configurations and identify violations
- Run both Config Drift and Audit without any programming, use native vendor CLI with RegEx to rapidly define audit policies
- Execute drift and audits across multi-vendor, multi-platform networks
- Schedule drift and audit reports with automated notification and triggered responses
- Simplify automation of regulatory and compliance procedures
- User defined custom capture commands to perform drift monitoring and audit on any CLI or API output

Config Drift allows you to:
- Take a high-resolution “snapshot” of entire network or specific nodes to establish a known-good configuration baseline
- Schedule periodic snapshots of devices to detect change Conduct automated comparisons to determine if any changes have occurred
- Notifies and provides line-by-line comparisons if drift/changes are detected
- Promotes the current snapshot to default or points out needed remediation for the device
- Perform drift monitoring on any user-defined custom commands CLI or API
CONFIG DRIFT: WATCH THE DEMO
CONFIG AUDIT: WATCH THE DEMO
Config Audit allows you to:
- Execute multi-vendor, multi-platform audits
- Easily define company policy, ad-hoc policy and standards-based policies
- Define policies comprised of multiple rules required or forbidden configuration statements
- Native vendor CLI along with RegEx supported for configuration policy
- Manually trigger audits or use the integrated scheduler
- Audits can be run network-wide, on a specified set or a filtered group of network nodes
- Presents audit details in the results view and makes them available as a CSV-detailed download
- Perform audits on any user-defined command output CLI or API, including configuration and operational state
Config Drift and Audit works hand-in-hand with the network configuration solutions providing the necessary feedback loop to monitor the current network config state and notify users of possible unauthorized changes that may need remediation.
