Comparing Versions of Generated Clusters: Diff Views

After you have automatically discovered policies at least twice for a workspace, you can compare the clusters generated in different discovery runs.

Procedure

1

Navigate to the clusters diff view using one of the following paths:

  • After successfully discovering policies, a message will appear indicating the success with a link that navigates to the diff view showing discovery results. Click the results link.

  • From the version details side panel:

    1. Follow the steps to view version details in View, Compare, and Manage Discovered Policy Versions.

Review the comparison results:

At the top level, the diff view for automatically discovered policies shows high level statistics about changes in clusters and workloads showing the number of added, deleted, modified, and unchanged clusters and workloads.

The rest of the view is organized as a list of clusters in the order of added, deleted, modified and unchanged, each color coded to reflect the status as well as the number of workloads added to or removed from the cluster.

You may search for a particular cluster or workload by name or IP address. To see how the contents of a cluster have changed, click any of the rows representing a cluster to expands that row.


 

By default, unchanged clusters are hidden. To display unchanged clusters, click the button with the eye icon.
