Revert Panorama Configuration Changes

When you revert changes, you are replacing settings in the current candidate configuration with settings from another configuration. Reverting changes is useful when you want to undo changes to multiple settings as a single operation instead of manually reconfiguring each setting.
You can revert pending changes that were made to the Panorama configuration since the last commit. You can revert all pending changes on Panorama or select specific device groups, templates, or template stacks. Panorama provides the option to filter the pending changes by administrator or location. The locations can be specific device groups, templates, Collector Groups, Log Collectors, shared settings, or the Panorama management server. If you saved a snapshot file for a candidate configuration that is earlier than the current running configuration (see Save and Export Panorama and Firewall Configurations), you can also revert to that candidate configuration snapshot. Reverting to a snapshot enables you to restore a candidate configuration that existed before the last commit. Panorama automatically saves a new version of the running configuration whenever you commit changes and you can restore any of those versions.
Reverting a Panorama management server configuration requires a full commit and must be performed by a superuser. Full commits are required when performing certain Panorama operations, such as reverting and loading a Panorama configuration, and are not supported for custom Admin Role profiles.
  • Revert to the current Panorama running configuration (file named
    running-config.xml
    ).
    This operation undoes changes you made to the candidate configuration since the last commit.
