Export a configuration by hand
What to run on each device, what to upload, and what only the Collector or Relay can read.

How a manual upload works
Run the commands in the device guide, save the output as one file, and upload it in New analysis. A manual upload is read for the configuration and for the show outputs each guide lists.
Open New analysis
Choose File upload and select the file, or choose Paste, paste the output and select Upload and parse.
It is sent at once
One file per upload. ConfigProof reads the vendor and export type from the content, not the file name, then asks the client, project and name. If your role is limited to certain clients, choose the client first.
Answer the picker if asked
A file that holds several VDOMs, contexts, virtual systems or gateways opens a picker. Each one you choose is its own analysis.
Accepted file names end in .xml, .txt, .cfg, .conf, .log, .json, .tgz, .tar, .gz or .zip. The size limit is shown on the upload page.
What a manual upload cannot carry
Use the Collector when you need these readings.
