Change management profiles

You create a change management profile so you can monitor changes to fabric elements and

provide e-mail notification or alerts automatically when change occurs. Table 13 on page 133 lists

the fabric elements you can monitor, and Table 14 on page 134 describes known limitations

working with the change management feature.

You can create change management profiles after you have configured the notification parameters

(see “Notification parameter configuration” on page 106).

You can clone (duplicate) an existing change management profile if you need another similar

profile and do not want to repeat all of the steps required to create a new one. For example, if you

have another fabric that you want to run the same (or similar) checks on, you can clone an existing

profile and make minor adjustments as needed.

You can edit an existing change management profile to change the following information:

• profile name

• fabrics being monitored

• snapshot schedule

• notification method

NOTE

You cannot change the snapshot items that are being monitored. To monitor a different set of

snapshot items, you must create a new profile.

When you delete a change management profile, all associated snapshots and change reports are

also deleted from the database.

You view and manage profiles using the Change Management dialog box, shown in Figure 87.
