Compare and Analyze Network Device Configuration Changes
with SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools
Compare running and backed up configurations
Comparing your network device configurations can improve your network performance and aid in troubleshooting issues and improving security. With SolarWinds® Kiwi CatTools® automated network device config
backups, you can easily compare a device’s running config to the last stored config or the startup config. You can then analyze the comparison to pinpoint issues in your current configuration and find areas for improvement as part of the change management process.
Compare and analyze network configuration changes to help optimize performance
There are many benefits to comparing network configs. From finding room for improvement to increasing security, comparing configs is an essential part of network change management.
With SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools, you can more easily perform two different types of comparisons. You can compare your running and startup configs, or you can compare your current device config with the most recent backup. From there, you can view and analyze the results on your console or generate a report.
Stay on top of changes with configuration change alerting
Configuration changes are essential for maintaining the performance of your network and systems, but when they’re bad—because the changes are unauthorized or fail for other reasons—improper configuration changes can create security vulnerabilities on your network.
To provide you with crucial visibility into config changes, SolarWinds Kiwi CatTools is designed to automatically send you email alerts whenever a change is detected, so you can quickly address unwanted changes and maintain network security.
“The ability to display side-by-side configuration change comparisons has been helpful in diagnosing unauthorized
configuration changes as well as educating new employees on how to properly do configurations. These features of
Kiwi CatTools have benefited our organization greatly.”
