Examples

Compare a device's live configuration against its saved template. A compliant device:

bb-eco template diff 192.168.2.97 es-522-baseline.json

Device is compliant — 32 field(s) match template.

When someone has changed a setting on the device (or the template has been updated), each differing field is listed:

Section  Key          Template     Actual                                Status
-------  -----------  -----------  ------------------------------------  ------
device   device.name  Line3-ES522  Brainboxes ES-522 Ethernet to Serial  DRIFT

DRIFTED: 1 field(s) differ, 31 match.

Fields set to null (or omitted) in the template mean "don't manage this setting" and are never reported as drift. To bring the device back in line, run template apply.
