Config Drifts - Increase Frequency and Alerts

[jasonfnb2007]

I have been working on setting up Cisco Catalyst Center in our environment. One use case we have for it is to monitor the configurations of the managed switches and to alert us when a config drift occurs. I see that out of the box it will backup the device configs and note a drift (if any) once per week. Is it possible to increase the frequency that it backs up configs at so that we could see a change more quickly - ideally once per hour for our purposes.

Second, I've been poking around in the reporting node but I don't see an option to generate an email alert when a config drift occurs. Is that possible to do? 

For reference, we are currently using RANCID (https://shrubbery.net/rancid/) to monitor our network device configurations and alert on changes, but we would like to retire that solution in favor of using CCC to perform the same function.

Thanks,
Jason

@jasonfnb2007 if the frequency cannot be changed, look at a workflow involves Cisco Catalyst Center detecting a config drift on a managed device and triggering a webhook notification to Zapier. Zapier receives the notification and retrieves device details from the CCC API. The Zap then filters and processes the device details to populate an email notification, which is sent to a configured recipient email address. This workflow enables real-time notification of config drifts, allowing for prompt investigation and remediation.
