cm watch-devicegroup-device(1) BIG-IP TMSH Manual cm watch-devicegroup-device(1)

NAME
watch-devicegroup-device - Displays information about the devices in the device group to which the local
device belongs.

MODULE
cm

SYNTAX
Run the watch-devicegroup-device program within the cm module using the syntax shown in the following
sections.

RUN
run watch-devicegroup-device

DESCRIPTION
You can use the watch-devicegroup-device program to view dynamic information about the synchronization of the
devices in the device group to which the local device belongs. You can use this information to monitor or
troubleshoot the devices.

By default, multiple devices with identical information are collapsed into a single row that displays in
green. The devices column identifies the devices by the suffix of the configuration synchronization IP address
configured on the device. For example, if the devices in a device group have the IP addresses 10.0.0.15 and
10.0.0.16, the IDs in this column will be 15 and 16. Use the c (collapse) command to deactivate/activate this
behavior.

For example, when you make a change to a device, the change is identified by a commit ID (cid.id) that
displays when you run the watch-devicegroup-device program.

Within the program, you can use the following keys:

Press h to see a list of available commands.
Press the back tick key (`) to exit the help page.
Press c to toggle the view from a collapsed view to a full view. The command gathers information from every
device in the trust group. When all devices in the trust group report the same information the view is
collapsed and one line, highlighted in green, displays the information. The devices included in the line are
shown in the devices column. You can press c to see the full view, which displays each device on a separate
line.
Press Ctrl-C to exit the program.
Press the arrow keys to navigate across the columns or down the rows.

The content in the columns includes:

devices
Displays the suffix of the configuration synchronization IP address configured on the device. For
example, if the devices in a device group have the config-sync IP addresses 10.0.0.15 and 10.0.0.16, the
IDs in this column will be 15 and 16.

devgroup
Displays the name of the device group to which the device belongs. Note: This can be a sync-only,
failover, or trust device group.

device
Displays the device object name.

cid.id
Displays the commit ID, which is a configuration change identifier.

cid-orig
Displays the name of the device on which the configuration change was made.

cid.time
Displays the time the configuration change was made.

last_sync
Displays the time the device configuration was last synchronized with the device group.

The devices in the to-group of a configuration synchronization display the same time in this column. The
local device that pushes the configuration to the other devices in the device group (to-group) has a
different value in this column.

The devices in the from-group of a configuration synchronization display the same time in this column.
The local device that receives the configuration from the other devices has a different value in this
column. You can use this information to determine a rollback strategy.
