Configuration Templates let you specify service configurations for a group of servers. You can check whether a Configuration Template is out of sync with the server it is assigned to in the BlueCat Server Update Services Dashboard. (Click the Dashboard tab in the BSUS header, then click the Name of the Server Batch that the server belongs to.) The current sync status for between the server and its associated Configuration Template is indicated under the Configuration Status column.
If the template settings match the configuration of the listed server, the Configuration Status is listed as Compliant.
If the server's configuration does not match its template, the Configuration Status is Non-compliant, flagged with an amber highlight.
To investigate and resolve a Noncompliant configuration:
To view the differences between the current server configuration and its associated template, click the Noncompliant status indicator in the Configuration Status column.
You can also change the specific template associated with that server, choosing from all templates assigned to that Server Batch.
To view or download the server's current service configuration settings, click the Download button (
) in the
Configuration Status column. These are the current settings on the server itself, not settings defined in the server's associated Configuration Template. However, BSUS downloads these settings as JSON code that can be used in Configuration Templates. (You might need to edit the JSON content to comply with Configuration Template restrictions. For more details, see Creating a Configuration Template JSON file.)
To sync the assigned Configuration Template with the server, click the Sync button (
).The server's service configuration is updated to match that defined in its associated Configuration Template.
