Configurations changes log

evertonxvieira — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 02:01:43 GMT

Hello,

I tried to find on EXOSCommandRef, but I didn't find.

Is there a file where I could find confs modifications?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

you;d enabled it with...
#enable cli-config-logging

and check the log with...
#show log | i Info:cli

Thanks Ronald,

Do this command shows me the past days confs modifications? Or just the new ones?

Somebody changes the switch conf a few days ago and I'm trying to find when did it happened.

It doesn't shows changes before you've enabled cli-config-logging.

Ron,

Just to confirm,

If the option cli-config-logging is disable, There is no other way to get that kind of log (configuration changes), right?

If you have XMC or another tool which backups the config you can list the changes between the different files.
Also, if you have configured and enabled snmp traps, maybe you can check your SNMP server for config change traps.

There is no chance to so changes on the switch itself if cli-config-logging is disabled.

If it helps, the show cli journal command was introduced in EXOS 22.1.
It is enabled by default.
