Generate configuration audit diff for ConfigChange SNMP Traps

Whenever there is a configuration change in a Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC) instance in the network, the configuration file is updated. The instance sends a ConfigChange SNMP trap to NetScaler Application Delivery Management (NetScaler ADM). You can enable NetScaler ADM to perform a configuration audit on that instance when the instance sends a ConfigChange SNMP trap.

If any difference exists between the audit template configuration and the running configuration, a Diff Exists status message appears on the Audit Report page. Clicking the Diff Exits link takes you to the Configuration Diff page, where you can view the corrective command. You can use these corrective commands to create a configuration job and run that on the specific NetScaler instances. When you run the configuration job, the instances are brought back to the desired configuration. For more information on how to create configuration job from corrective commands, see How to Create Configuration Jobs from Corrective Commands on NetScaler ADM.

To run configuration audit templates on receiving ConfigChange SNMP trap:

NetScaler ADM allows you to enable the option to run the configuration audit template in NetScaler ADM.

1. In NetScaler ADM, navigate to Infrastructure > Configuration Audit.

2. Click Settings on the Configuration Audit page.

3. Click the edit icon in the Configuration Change Audit Settings section.

4. Select the Do Configuration Audit when netScalerConfigChange event is received check box.

Note

This is a global setting for all instances. NetScaler ADM performs a configuration audit for every instance that it receives the netScalerConfigChange SNMP traps in the future.

1. In the Time delay to run the Audit Template (in minutes) field, type the minutes. NetScaler ADM runs the configuration audit template on the NetScaler instance after this time delay when it receives the ConfigChange SNMP trap by that instance.
