NetBrain compliance comparison currently requires ADT entries to match running configuration values exactly, with no way to designate a portion of a configuration line as a variable that differs by site or device while still validating the surrounding structure. As a result, customers cannot use a single ADT definition to check configuration lines that contain environment-specific values, such as an interface name and IP address pair that varies across locations. This enhancement would allow ADT entries to include variable placeholders, so a line such as a logging host statement could be defined with variables representing the interface and IP portions while the surrounding syntax remains fixed for validation. Customers managing configuration compliance across many sites with varying device-specific values would be able to build standardized compliance checks without creating separate ADT entries for each site, reducing maintenance effort and improving consistency of compliance validation.
