Granular Configuration Audit Comparison

Use the enhancement configuration audit to assess and document impact of configuration changes for NGFW and your Panorama® management server.
Configuration changes often complicate adherence to strict industry compliance standards and tracing the specific source of unexpected system outages. On Panorama® management server, configuration audit now provides granular, object-level detail to significantly simplify this process. Your security administrators can now perform a configuration audit to compare the precise differences between any two selected configuration versions stored within your Panorama. When reviewing a configuration audit, the Change Summary section provides a simplified, granular, per-object view of every configuration object that was added, deleted, or modified. This ensures that security administrators can quickly assess the impact of changes, immediately trace back potential outage causes to a specific admin and time, and perform regular security compliance audits with high precision. The improvements to configuration audits on Panorama enable security administrators focus immediately on critical details, such as the object name, its exact location, the modification time, and the administrator who performed the operation, enabling fast and effective remediation.
