Revision History

Overview

The Revision History page displays policy revisions for a selected device, and provides change-tracking capabilities for the security policy. A revision is a snapshot of a device's security and networking configuration.

Revision History displays revisions that are related to security issues. Revisions that only contain changes of a non-security nature, such as Global configuration, NAT rules, interface descriptions, and routing changes, will either appear with no rules or will be omitted. Skipping results in non-sequential revision numbers.

What can I see?

For the selected device in the Device Viewer (not including firewall devices), this page shows a list of all revisions.

  • The columns include:

    • Revision: Revision number assigned by SecureTrack.

    • Received on: Date and time when the revision was received in TOS.

    • Changed on: Date and time when the revision was created on the device.

    • Changed by: User who updated the revision.

    • Action: Operation on the device that generated the new revision. Possible values include: Unset, Auto, Save, Install, Restore, Remove, Assign and Install, and Rollback.

    • Comment: For OPM devices, use this field to add/modify comments. For non-OPM devices, you can add/modify comments in the Compare Revisions page. Comments are limited to 1024 alpha-numeric characters; they cannot include special characters.

    • Comment last modified: Date and time for the most recent comment modification.

    • Comment modified by: Name/ID of the user who last added or modified the comment. (For example, John Smith (jsmith))
