#Review Deployment

In the following scenarios, a comparison page highlighting discrepancies between the tenant’s current configurations and the applied baseline will be generated, and the status of the tenant will display Review deployment.

• When a baseline is applied to a tenant and Elements completes the configuration comparison process.

• When the baseline of a tenant is changed, triggering a new configuration comparison process, and the process is complete.

For a tenant with this status, you need to review configurations, make updates as needed, and initiate the deployment process to deploy the finalized configurations to the tenant.

To open the comparisons page, on the Tenants page, locate the tenant, and click the Review deployment status link.

To export a report, click the More actions button in the upper-right corner and click Export. You can navigate to Process center to view the progress and then download the report.

In the summary section, you can find the following information:

• Tenant name and customer’s organization name

• Baseline name, baseline version, and baseline color

  If multiple baselines are applied to the tenant, they will be listed in the ranking order for clarity.

• Last deployed time and the View change log link

  The View change log link allows you to track tenant modifications over time. For detailed instructions, refer to View Change Logs.

  In the comparisons section, configuration comparisons are grouped into 4 tabs. For quick access, you can search for a specific configuration by entering the configuration name in the Search text box and pressing Enter on your keyboard. If you want to focus on configurations from a specific baseline, click Filter, select the desired baseline, and click Apply changes.

Switch among these 4 tabs to review and manage the configurations. Once the current configurations meet your requirements, you can click Deploy in the lower-right corner of the page to initiate the deployment process to deploy the finalized configurations to the tenant. For detailed instructions, refer to Execute Deployment. Note that only the selected configurations will be deployed to the tenant.

#Conflicts with Baseline

This tab displays the configurations that are configured differently (same instance name and mismatched property values) in the tenant and the baseline. You can expand or collapse all configurations under this tab by clicking Expand all or Collapse all.

Accept Deviation of an Instance

If you want to accept deviation of an instance, click Accept deviation next to the instance. Configure duration, enter a comment, and click Save to save the changes. An Accepted instance tag will appear next to it. Accepted deviations will still be included in configuration deployment. However, they will not be monitored in drift detection. To cancel acceptance, click Cancel acceptance. Enter a comment and click Save to save the changes. Canceling acceptance will re-enable drift detection for the instance.

Mark an Instance as Tenant-specific Setting

If you want to mark an instance as tenant-specific setting, click Mark as tenant-specific setting next to the instance. Enter a comment and click Save. A Tenant-specific setting tag will appear next to it. Once an instance is marked as tenant-specific setting, it will still be included in the configuration deployment. However, drift detection will now use this custom value as the new standard for detecting deviations. To unmark an instance as tenant-specific setting, click Unmark, enter a comment, and click Save to save the changes. The Tenant-specific setting tag will disappear. Once an instance is unmarked as tenant-specific setting, it will still be monitored based on the baseline standard in drift detection.

Edit an Instance

To view and manage the properties of an instance, click Edit next to the instance. The Edit window pops up, displaying properties in pairs (tenant vs. baseline).

Any property with a conflict will be indicated by a yellow icon preceding the property for easy identification. When a property conflict exists in JSON format, the specific differences will be highlighted, and an icon will appear beside it. Clicking this icon will open a full-screen view, allowing you to easily review the highlighted differences.

If a property cannot be updated, a View only tag will appear next to it. To help streamline the review process, you can click Hide view-only properties to focus only on those modifiable properties.

For easier review, matching properties are hidden by default, helping you focus on conflicts. You can click Show matching properties if you want to display these matching properties, and you can make updates to these matching configurations, if needed.

If you want to accept deviation of properties within an instance, select the properties, and click Accept deviation. Configure duration, enter a comment, and click Save to save the changes. An Accepted property tag will appear next to it. Accepted deviations will still be included in configuration deployment. However, they will not be monitored in drift detection. To cancel acceptance, click Cancel acceptance. Enter a comment and click Save to save the changes. Canceling acceptance will re-enable drift detection for the properties.

For each property pair, select the standard to confirm the settings to be deployed. If you choose the baseline as the standard, click Update to save the changes. If you select tenant setting as the standard, you must either mark it as a tenant-specific setting or accept it as a deviation, and then click Save to save your selection.

When a property is marked as tenant-specific settings, a Tenant-specific setting tag will appear next to it. This property will continue to be included in the configuration deployment. However, drift detection will use the tenant’s custom value as the new standard for detecting deviations. To unmark a property as tenant-specific setting, click Unmark, enter a comment, and click Save to save the changes. The Tenant-specific setting tag will disappear, and the property will once again be monitored based on the baseline standard in drift detection.

When a property is accepted, an Accepted instance tag will appear next to it. Although accepted deviations remain part of the configuration deployment, they are excluded from drift detection monitoring. To cancel the acceptance, click Cancel acceptance. Enter a comment and click Save to save the changes. Canceling acceptance will re-enable drift detection for the property.

#Unique to Baseline

This tab displays the configurations that are exclusive to the baseline. You can expand or collapse all configurations under this tab by clicking Expand all or Collapse all. You can make updates as below.

Add a Configuration

To deploy all configurations to the tenant, click Select all. If you want to deploy all configurations within a specific source to the tenant, select the checkbox next to the source. If you want to deploy one or more configurations within a specific source to the tenant, expand the source to find the configurations, and select the checkboxes next to the configurations. If you want to deploy an instance within a specific configuration to the tenant, expand the source to find the configuration, expand the configuration to locate the instance, and select the checkbox next to it.

Accept Deviation of an Instance

To accept deviation of an instance, click Accept deviation next to the instance. Configure duration, enter a comment, and click Save to save the changes. An Accepted instance tag will appear next to it. Accepted deviations will still be included in configuration deployment. However, they will not be monitored in drift detection. To cancel acceptance, click Cancel acceptance. Enter a comment and click Save to save the changes. Canceling acceptance will re-enable drift detection for the instance.

Edit an Instance

If you want to update the properties of an instance, click Edit next to the instance to open the Edit window. In the Edit window, locate a property, make updates, and click Update to save the changes. If a specific property cannot be updated, a View only tag will appear next to it.

#Matches with Baseline

This tab displays the configurations that are configured identically (same instance name and property values) in the tenant and the baseline. You can expand or collapse all configurations under this tab by clicking Expand all or Collapse all.

To view details of an instance, click View next to the instance to open the View window. There is no need to make updates.
