Configuration Task

Configuration task allows users to check and apply configuration templates to target devices without associating the device with a policy. For example, you want to upgrade the devices' firmware in the New Device group. To do so, you must create a firmware configuration template containing the information about the firmware to be applied. Then you create a configuration task with the "Apply" task type. In this case, select the firmware template as the target template and the New Device group as target group. Run the configuration task to upgrade the devices' firmware in the New Device group.

In contrast to Device Policies, configuration templates will only be checked or applied when the run button is clicked.

To create a configuration task, the following are the prerequisites:

Prerequisites
Configuration Templates are created. Please see Device Configuration Template for details on how to create the templates.
The target devices that the template will be applied or checked must be added to CloudStream DM.

Run a configuration task in three simple steps.
