How to diff config differences between 2 Big-IPs in HA

Two Big-IPs LTM in Active/Standby High Availability pair.

  • Sometimes, administrators would mistakenly apply changes on Standby instead of Active. Usually a new SNAT record.

OR

  • Configs applied on Active but they forget to ConfigSync. We prefer manual sync mode.

Is there a method to view the config differences Active vs. Standby?

I'm thinking downloading bigip_base.config from both units, rename the files, upload to one of the LTM and use CLI Example:

diff bigip_baseActive.conf bigip_baseStandby.conf
