Add option in compliance remediation to redownload config

I routinely use compliance reports to pickup oversights in our network and push scripts that bring everything in line with current standards. However 1 thing that slows me down in NCM is that I have to manually download configs again and rerun the compliance reports

This isn't such a big deal if everything is in its own category, however some of my reports spread across many devices that are contiguous, so trying to pick out and tick 87 different entries is time consuming (and its a waste of bandwidth and takes quite a while just downloading everything again from all devices)

I would like to see an option when execution remediation scripts to 'redownload config from device after execution' so that all of the devices where the script is running, when its complete will have the latest config downloaded again. Making it quick and easy to re-run the compliance report once successful and you can see if your remediation script solved the problem, or see which nodes still have an issue that need manual intervention

Absolutely! This makes perfect sense.

I get around the problem by having a nightly Job that saves running-config to startup-config and then downloads both to NCM, but it's not as good as having the option to automatically download the config.

Maybe even include the opportunity to re-run the report and Compliance Remediation.

I solved a similar issue by adding real time change detection and automatically downloading when a change is detected.
