After replacing a sensor, an engineer pushes a new access control policy from the Management Center. The device shows a healthy indicator on the Health dashboard, but users report that traffic still follows the old rule. Which record in the Management Center confirms whether that policy push actually completed on the sensor?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A green health light only says the sensor is alive, not that your push landed. You'll want the deployment job record, which is your receipt that the policy actually reached the device.
Full Explanation
Deployment is a tracked job, and the Management Center writes a record for every policy push it sends to a device, including the outcome and the time it ran. Reading that deployment job status answers directly whether the configuration reached the sensor, because it reports the transfer itself rather than anything downstream of it. The Health dashboard System Health panel answers a different question, namely whether the platform is up and the manager can still reach it, which is why a sensor can look perfectly healthy while a push sits unfinished. Device Management confirms registration state and software version, so it tells you the appliance is paired rather than whether one specific policy was delivered. Filtering connection events for the new rule tests enforcement after the fact, and quiet results can mean the push never landed or simply that no matching traffic has appeared yet. Exam caveat: a job can report success while behaviour still does not change, and then the next stop is connection and event analysis rather than another push. Practical check: note the job time on each deployment, then compare it with the first event that should reflect the new rule.
