Logging Config changes in NXOS

[Craddockc]

Community,

Cisco IOS offeres the Archive feature where any changes made to the running config can be sent to the syslog server. Does anyone know if NXOS has a similar feature? For compliance reasons, I need to be able to remotely log any changes made to the config in our Nexus 9Ks. I read somewhere that AAA Accounting might be able to solve this problem? Does anyone know if this can only be accomplished in AAA and if so,  Where can I find the instructions on how to set that up? Thanks.

Chris.

Hello,

in NX-OS, you have to send the local accounting logs to a TACACS server and configure TACACS command accounting. See the document below for configuration options:
