F5® Alert of the Week: BIG-IP device has changes pending synchronization

This is a real life sample alert from indeni

Description:

The configuration has changed but the changes haven’t synced between all devices in the group.
Here’s the ConfigSync sync status details:
/Common/jcnj-adc2.mycompany.com: connected (for 1660289 seconds)
/Common/device-grp1 (Changes Pending): Changes pending
– Recommended action: Synchronize /Common/jcnj-adc1 to group /Common/device-grp1

Manual Remediation Steps:

Sync the configuration by running “run sys config-sync” under tmsh.

This version of BIG-IP supports automatic syncing too. If you use that feature, you may want to ensure the synced configuration is saved. Refer to SOL14624.

How does this alert work?

indeni retrieves the current configuration sync status by running “tmsh show /cm sync-status”.
