Auvik configuration management software FAQs
What is configuration management, and how does Auvik simplify it?
Configuration management is the process of tracking and controlling the configurations of your network devices.
Auvik makes config management easier with automated backups of device configurations. Our platform tracks all changes to these configurations, providing full visibility with color-coded diffs that highlight what has changed, when, and why.
Auvikโs system replaces manual tracking methods like spreadsheets, offering a streamlined, error-free approach to device configuration management. This not only saves time but also eliminates the risks associated with human error, ensuring that network configuration backups are always up-to-date and easy to manage.
How does Auvik detect and log configuration changes?
Auvik runs automated checks at configurable intervals to take snapshots of device configurations. Whenever a change is detected, Auvik automatically compares the new configuration to the previous version and highlights the differences, including detailed timestamps. This level of visibility makes it easy to track, audit, and understand the evolution of your networkโs configuration over time, ensuring compliance and reducing the complexity of manual tracking.
