Viewing a Change Summary report

The Change Summary report displays all configuration changes made to a network span over a period of time. To determine who made the configuration change and device events received before and after the configuration change, select Show Events.

To generate a Change Summary report

1. Open the Change Summary report page by navigating to Reports > Activity Reports > Change Summary.

2. Enter the following information:

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

3. Click Generate to begin the report generation and to display its progress on the Report Activity page.
   
   
4. Click Refresh until the report is completed, or wait until you receive the notification email. If the report is aborted, the Progress column indicates so, to alert you that the report data is partial. You can view the partial report, but be aware it is partial. You should refine your selections (if you asked for too-large a report) or re-generate the report (if it was aborted due to a system shutdown) in order to obtain a complete report. Then delete the aborted report as soon as possible. For more information about the Report Activity page, see Viewing-report-activity.
5. Click the Change Summary link in the Report column to display the report.
   
   Verify the report is complete. If the report was aborted, the title and the Report Generation information in the footer inform you so, and the footer informs you about the user who aborted it. An aborted report will be missing one or more devices and configuration changes.
   
   The Change Summary report shows a summary of differences for all selected devices over the specified time period.
   

6. (Optional): Perform one of the following tasks by using the menu options that are available on the Change Summary report page:

   Menu option	Description
   Refine	Return to the wizard to change report parameters and generate a new version of the report.
   Export	Export the report to one of the following formats: HTML PDF RTF
   Email	Email the report to one or more recipients in one of the export formats.
   Back	Return to the Report Activity page.

7. Click  to display the Change Details report for a specific configuration change.
