ConfigDiscovery
Overview
The Unified Assurance Topology Configuration Discovery uses Configuration Policies to identify devices where configuration files should be collected, then creates entries as needed for the Unified Assurance Gather Configurations Agent application (Topology Gather Configurations Agent). This is an automated utility that can be utilized to perform the same function as manually creating entries using the Collections UI.
