 +===== Configurations =====
 +
 +This page gives you an overview of all nodes polled for backups
 +
 +{{:menu:operate:nccm:nccm_configdiffs.png|}}
 +
 +At the top you see a search option allowing you to filter based upon Nodename, in case your NetYCE setup consists of multiple frontend servers you will find a box to show only the nodes being polled by the current server. 
 +
 +{{tablelayout?colwidth="150px,500px"}}
 +^ Fieldname ^ Description ^
 +| Show diff | when config(s) from a node are present the //select// buttons will be presented here, //select// brings up a popup with all available configs which are selectable based upon the date retrieved | 
 +| Nodename | name of the network device |
 +| Last successful poll | the last time a successful poll has been executed | 
 +| Last failed poll | the last time a poll failed for this node | 
 +| Diffs | total number of configurations present for this node |
 +| Polling | when the maximum amount of unsuccessful logins has been reached the node will be disabled in the poller, ifso this will be indicated here |
 +| Connected servers | the server(s) the nodename in question is assigned to |
 +
 +To view the available configurations for a node click the //Select// button next to the nodename in question which will open a seperate window showing the available configurations classified into months, first select the months to select the dates from, then select 2 dates to show the difference:
 +
 +{{:menu:operate:nccm:available_diff.png|}}
 +
 +In this case the only diff is a added description on an interface. Let's say we would like to revert the configuration to the one without the description on that interface: select the date of the configuration you would like to restore and click the //mark// button. The date of the marked configuration will be printed in bold. Note that you can un-mark this config by clicking again on the //mark// button. 
 +
 +{{:menu:operate:nccm:marked_for_restore.png|}}
 +
 +To restore this configuration we can run a "[[menu:operate:scenarios:commands|config_restore]]" job pointing to the marked configuration: make sure to add the -s option with 'marked' as argument, without this argument the most recent configuration for this node will be restored.
 +
 +    [-s <select>  specifies the NCCM configuration to select
 +                    may be one of:
 +                    'previous'  select most recent config prior to a command job. 
 +                                it selects the latest poll or pre-config backup available.
 +                                this is the default action if no -s option is provided
 +                    'last'      select the most recent NCCM backup available
 +                    'poll'      select the most recent NCCM polled backup
 +                    'marked'    select the NCCM config manually identified ('marked'
 +                                using the NCCM 'Config diff' tools.
