Change Queue

You can view the pending changes that have been queued for an interface or endpoint, as well as view the previously queued changes that have been executed (or canceled or failed).

To view the queued changes for an interface, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Hosts link in the app header.

  2. Find the host containing the interface in the list, and click its name to view the host’s main status page.

  3. Find the interface in the Interfaces panel, and click its name to view the interface’s main status page.

  4. Scroll down to the Change Queue panel.

To view the queued changes for an endpoint, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Hosts link in the app header.

  2. Find the host containing the endpoint in the list, and click its name to view the host’s main status page.

  3. Find the endpoint in the Endpoints panel, and click its name to view the endpoint’s main status page.

  4. Scroll down to the Change Queue panel.

Details

To view the details of a change, click the link for the change in the “Queued” column of the “Change Queue” panel. This will show the specific fields that were queued to be changed. If the change was executed (or failed), this will also show any messages logged during the attempted execution of the change.

Cancel

If the change is in the “Pending” state, you can cancel it. To cancel a change, click its “circle-with-slash” icon.

Retry

If the change is not in the “Pending” state, you can retry it. To retry a change, click its “circle-with-arrow” icon.

Applied Manually

If the change is queued for an unmonitored host, Pro Custodibus will not be able to tell whether or not you applied the change manually. If you applied the change manually, and the change is still in the “Pending” state, you can flag it as applied manually by clicking its “circle-with-check” icon.

You can apply pending changes to an unmonitored host by downloading the configuration for its interfaces, and manually updating the host with the downloaded configuration; or if the host is a mobile phone or similar device, by scanning the QR code for its interfaces with the device’s camera.
