To access this page, select the Reconciliation policies tab in the Network Discovery & Visibility GUI.

Use the Reconciliation policies page to create reconciliation policies; these policies will be stored in Network Discovery. You can also manage all the created reconciliation policies from this page.

By default, each entry in the Reconciliation policies table has the following attributes:
Column Description
Name The unique name provided for the reconciliation policy.
Discovery task The name of the discovery task associated with the reconciliation policy.
Status The current status of the reconciliation.
  • Pending: If the reconciliation task completed successfully but reconciliation results are not applied yet.
  • Completed: If the reconciliation task completed successfully and reconciliation results were also applied.
Creation time The date and time when the reconciliation policy was created.

The date is displayed in the format MM DD, YYYY and time is displayed in the format hh:mm:ss AM/PM.
Address Manager configuration The Address Manager configuration to which the reconciliation policy is applied.
Actions (vertical ellipsis icon)

Actions you can perform on the selected reconciliation policy: view additional information about the reconciliation policy, edit configured settings, delete the reconciliation policy, and run the reconciliation policy at the current time.

Actions you can perform

You can perform the following actions from this page:
  • Similar to other tables in Integrity, you can search for specific tasks in the Discovery tasks table by name, sort and customize the table, as well as filter, refresh, and download table data.
  • Create reconciliation policies—refer to Create reconciliation policies for details.
  • View additional information about a reconciliation policy—to view additional information about a created reconciliation policy:
    Select an entry in the Reconciliation policies table, or select the vertical ellipsis icon for the reconciliation policy in the table, then select View details. The expanded details section displays general information about the reconciliation policy (such as its ID, creation time, discovery task associated, and current status), reconciliation scope configured for the policy (such as the Address Manager configuration, view, and network boundaries and overrides for which the policy applies), and acceptance criteria configured for the policy.
  • Run reconciliation policies at the current time (on-demand)—to run one or more tasks at the current time instead of the scheduled time:
    Note: If a reconciliation policy is configured to use results from the next scheduled discovery task, you cannot run the reconciliation policy manually at the current time (on-demand) by using the Run now option because the results aren't available in the current time. Such reconciliation policies can only run at the scheduled time (that is, the schedule of the associated discovery task).
  1. Do one of the following:
    • Select the checkbox for one or more reconciliation policies in the Reconciliation policies table, then select Actions > Run now.
    • Select the vertical ellipsis icon for a reconciliation policy in the Reconciliation policies table, then select Run now.
    • In the Run reconciliation policy (or policies) window that appears, select Run now.

    • Once the policy runs successfully, the status of the policy in the Reconciliation policies table changes to Completed. You can view the results by selecting the reconciliation policy name. The corresponding page for the device reconciliation policy opens in the Address Manager GUI (Devices > Device reconciliation). For details, refer to Reconcile discovery results
