Resolving a configuration in conflict

A config status in Conflict can be resolved by retrieving the configuration from the managed device or by re-installing FortiManager's stored configuration:

1. Using the configuration from the Managed Device
   1. Go to Device Manager, and select the managed device from the Managed FortiGate tree menu to enter the device database.
   2. On the Dashboard > Summary page, select the revision history icon in the Configuration and Installation widget.
   3. Select the revision from the managed device, and click Retrieve Config. The FortiManager will retrieve the selected revision from the managed device. See Device DB - configuration management.
   4. Once the configuration has been retrieved, re-import the policy to synchronize the policy package status between the managed device and FortiManager. See Import Configuration wizard.
2. Using the configuration from FortiManager:
   1. Go to Device Manager, and select the managed device from the devices table.
   2. Select Install > Install Wizard > Install Device Settings (Only). See Install device settings only.
      The device settings stored in FortiManager are installed on the managed device.
