Bluecoat Central File Update Tracking

[Abhinav Shastrakar]

Hello All,

As a part of my project, I need to monitor the central file updates weekly. At moment I am doing it manually, every Monday I pull fresh central file and compare it with last week's Monday central file to get the difference. Is there an way I can directly get these weekly differences by bluecoat itself. And what is the best way to automate this in Bluecoat Proxy.

Hello Abhinav,

I would recommend you to explore Management Center in order to utilize Policy Version Control and Policy Changes Notifications:

When you use MC as the single point of policy distribution, you can receive email every time when policy has changed (with this change) and additionally you can compare every version of you policy (stored on MC) with another version at your choice (stored on MC too), cause Policy Version Control cann't be disabled.
