Conflict Detection

When conflict detection is enabled, Cisco Defense Orchestrator (CDO) polls the device for the default interval to to determine if a change has been made to the device's configuration outside of CDO. If CDO detects that a change was made, it changes the configuration status for the device to Conflict Detected. Changes made to a device outside of CDO are called "out-of-band" changes.

Once this option is enabled, you can configure how often conflicts or OOB changes are detected per device. See Schedule Polling for Device Changes for more information.
