After running a query, the audit browser window is displayed, from which a task can be selected for attribute-level audit details. Attribute-level audit gives the con- figuration status of every attribute. The attribute details form shows the name of Attribute, Finish Time of the task, the number of retries and the status (success or failure) of the configuration task (see Figure 11.13). 11.2.4.8 Task Manipulation CMS allows tasks to be defined and executed over a set of devices. Once a task is defined and applied to the devices, a condition may arise which requires task manipulation. It is possible to modify the task before the CMS applies it to the net- work. For example, suppose that whenever the "sysName" attribute of a particular device is changed, it is effected by appending an identifying string, which may be the name of the company. A user's particular updates can be "plugged in" before the task is applied to the device.
