Run a configuration audit against a policy baseline

Search across every device's live configuration to find and fix policy violations network-wide.

What you'll need

  • A Zynty account with Editor or Admin role
  • A defined policy or standard you want to check for (e.g. no default SNMP strings, NTP configured everywhere)
1

Write a search query

Configuration auditing searches the text of every device's live and backed-up configuration, so you can look for specific strings, patterns, or the absence of expected lines.

Review the matches

Results show which devices matched, the exact line, and a link straight to that device's configuration for a closer look.

3

Save the search

Save a recurring query (like "default SNMP community still present") so you can re-run it after every audit backup cycle rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

4

Export for evidence

Export results as CSV or PDF, useful both for internal remediation tracking and as supporting evidence in a NIS2 audit-evidence report.
