If the device needs to be switched into privileged-exec, Unimus will do so.

Startup vs. running config

Unimus will retrieve the configuration from the device using the appropriate commands for each vendor automatically.

If the device has concepts of "startup-config" / "running-config", Unimus always works with the "running-config" of the device.
If the device does not have concepts of "startup-config" vs. "running-config", Unimus will simply retrieve a backup.

Only unique backups (when config changes) are stored

Starting with version 1.6.0, Unimus automatically only stores stores only unique backups of the config.
If a backup retrieved from the device is the same as the last backup already in the system, it will not be stored.

The backups table will show a time range for which a backup was valid for, rather than just backup retrieval timestamp.

Unimus automatically filters timestamps (and other dynamic data present in the backup) to analyze when a devices config Dynamic data (such as timestamps, etc.) are automatically filtered from backups before Unimus compares backups to analyze if they have changed.
(this is supported for all our supported vendor drivers)

This feature makes it much easier to see when a device config changes.
