This one's a little bit like my ConfigSource to compare a config to a static template file: https://community.logicmonitor.com/product-discussions-22/configsource-to-compare-to-a-known-template-poc-1360It uses similar methodology, to compare the already-gathered 'running' and 'startup' instances of any existing ConfigSource via the LogicMonitor API.It doesn't gather any configs directly from the device.Example: The Cisco_IOS ConfigSource already gathers a 'running-config' and a 'startup-config' from relevant devices. This ConfigSource calls the LM API to pull the most recent retrievals of each of these, and compares one to the other.This ConfigSource can be extended to consider any ConfigSource that includes 'running' and 'startup' config instances, and/or could be cloned/edited to consider other instance pairs if the device type names them differently (e.g. 'default' vs 'running', 'original' vs 'custom', etc).The two configs are compared line-by-line and where lines differ, these are marked and alerted on.This ConfigSource demands the presence of the DataSources_List PropertySource, as it relies on a known list of LogicModules active on a device, as the AppliesTo is based on the presence of LogicModule names in the resultant auto.activedatasources device property: https://community.logicmonitor.com/product-discussions-22/datasources-list-propertysource-1346As it uses the LM API, this ConfigSource also demands an API token ID and Key pair, but you'll need those for the above PropertySource anyway. That pair must have the ability to read LM Config data.v1.3.0 is published with locator: 79Y7Y7
