Compare Running configuration to written when captured on LM

If they are separate instances no. You'd have to do that kind of work inside a groovy based config check, collecting both the configs within a single configsource, then using groovy to compare them.

Not only that, but comparing in some cases is very painful.  When we used to use Nagios, we had checks that worked very well for the ASA since they use a cryptochecksum (this was trivial since we just scanned all the files in one pass, compared and submitted passive check results for any problems -- LM needs something similar, probably via the API).  For IOS there are a bunch of elements instantiated at startup that are not in the saved config, so while you could perhaps fashion a suitable filter, it would be brittle. Other platforms might be OK, just depends.
