revision control for objects

[Wolfgang]

Hello,

I know the new revision control in R80 is not the best solution for reverting something.

We did some misconfiguration and changed the AntiSpoofing and topology configuration of a gateway object. (78 VLANs....) and did publish.

With R77.30 we could use database revision control to get back the old configuration but how about R80?

The revision brings back only the policy but nothing from the objects configuration.

Any ideas to get back the old configuration ?

We can restore a backup have a look into and change all manual to the old values.

But maybe there is a better way?

Can you see the changes if you go to Logs & Monitor and open the Audit Logs tab? Maybe search for something like "interface". Since changes to most things get tracked, you might be able to see what the previous values were in these logs?

We see the new values in the audit logs but not the original. The change of the "comment-field" is shown as changed from "old value" to "new value", but for the interface configuration this isn't shown.

If we open the older revision with ReadOnly view we can't see the topology details of an interface. Very bad at the moment.

Does the GW object look different if you view it via the Object Browser vs. looking at it through Gateways & Servers in ReadOnly view? 

[Wolfgang]

No, it's the same. You get only this simple view in ReadOnly mode:

A customer of ours did exactly the same when just finished migrating to R80.20. Eventually he fired up the old management (on VM) and checked the topology settings for differences. Not sure if TAC was consulted.
