    This request is a lower priority customer request than reporting, GUI performance charts, and expanded REST implementation so we have no outlook at this time. The best practice for monitoring for changes to settings is a programmatic polling method, comparing before and after with each new check. Options for polling today include the SNMP MIB and the CLI downloadResources command. The emerging option for this polling is via the REST over SCSI API although it currently has some limitations. We are currently declining requests that can not be delivered in the next two years.
