Hi,

 

If you. Activate audit logs, you can view changes on the ltm dashboard.

 

You will see red points on graphs and when clicking on it, a popup display the changes

 

You can also write a script to compare configuration on both devices.

 

You can also use Bigiq to make the configuration changes. The rbac system and auditing is even better than on the bigip itself. And not sure, but I think that bigiq allow you to diff configurations of devices

Thanks for the suggestion Yann, but not quite detailed enough for us.... the audit logs via the dashboard don't have enough information in fact they pretty much just give you a time and thats it. Yes I guess a script is going to be the option for the moment, was hoping it would be available in the software. I will check into the BigIQ - thanks
