settings_checker.py overview

• Processes your config files and PSS (Persistent Settings Stream) to determine if any changes are recommended before upgrading.

• Required: Having this output analyzed by Support is a requirement for upgrading from 9.x to 10+ and beyond.

• On a CSN, Settings checker is called by using the -s option with techsupport-bundle-grab.sh in most cases.  

• If no CSN is available, but you have a host with python3, you can run this script from that host.

• Example:
  python3 /root/dist/settings_checker.py -a $SCSP_HOST -w caringo -p ./ 
  # where your configuration files are in the local directory (the -p option) and “caringo” is the admin password.
