How to Export NCM configuration information that Spectrum collects

Environment

Component : Spectrum OneClick

Resolution

-> NCM config is stored as a hashed compressed in the SSdb

-> We can configure Network Configuration Manager to export device configurations to a text file for historical archiving purposes.
 
Follow these steps:

-> Select Configuration Manager in the Explorer tab. Attaching screenshot FYR

-> Information and configurations appear in the Information tab of the Contents panel.

-> Expand the Export Configuration subview.

-> Set the Export Directory

-> Click set next to Export Configuration. The default is “Do Not Export.”  Select one of the following options:
 

 (i)   Export Unique Configurations Only
 (ii)  Export device configurations only if they differ from previously captured configurations.
 (iii) Export Unique and Global Sync Configurations
 (iv) Export device configurations only if they differ from previously captured configurations or on a global synchronization.

For example, one file per device is generated each day if you have configured a global synchronization to run on a daily basis.
