useful to a system at any given time. Remember, only the latest version can be deployed.
4.2.9.3.1. System Details # Configuration # Overview
This subtab provides access to the configuration statistics of your system and to the most
common tasks used to manage configuration files. You may change the settings listed under
Configuration Stats by clicking on the blue text for that setting. Alternatively, you may perform
any of the common configuration management tasks listed on the right of the screen by clicking
one of the links.
4.2.9.3.2. System Details # Configuration # Managed Files
This subtab lists all configuration files currently associated with the system.
Filename
This column shows both the name and the deployment path for this file.
Revision
This column increments any time you make a change to the managed file.
From Config Channel
This column indicates the name of the channel that contains the file, or displays (system
override) for files available to this system only.
Overrides
If this configuration file overrides another, the overridden file is listed in this column along
with its host channel.
If you wish to deploy any of these files to the client system, overwriting any changes that have
been made locally, check the box to the left of the file and click the Deploy Configuration
button. On the following screen, choose a deployment time and click the Schedule Deploy
button to confirm.
Note
If you click on the Filename of a (system override) file, you can edit its
contents.
The Overrides column identifies the config file from which channel will apply if the system is
unsubscribed from the config channel that provides the file now. For instance, if a system has
'/etc/foo' from channel 'bar' and '/etc/foo' from channel 'baz' is in the Overrides column, then
unsubscribing from channel 'bar' will mean that the file from channel 'baz' will be applicable.
Also, if nothing is in the 'Overrides' column for a given file path, then unsubscribing from the
channel providing the file will mean that the file is no longer managed (though it will not remove
the file from the system).
