# Logger Initial Configuration Management

A Logger initial configuration is intended for the rapid, uniform setup of multiple ArcSight Loggers of the same model number and software version. Use a Logger initial configuration to expedite the initial deployment of Loggers to a production environment. Initial configuration management is supported on Logger version 6.1 or later.

A Logger initial configuration is not created in ArcMC. Instead, a suitable initial configuration is created on a managed Logger and imported into ArcMC. The configuration may then be pushed to other managed Loggers of the same model and software version number.

The following attributes are shown for each initial configuration:

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
Imported Init-Config Name | Name of the imported initial configuration.
Product Type | Type of Logger to which the configuration may be pushed: either Logger (appliance) or SWLogger (software)
Source Host | IP address of the host from which the configuration was imported.
Imported On | Date of import.
Imported By | User who imported the configuration.
SW Version | Software version of the configuration.
Source Model | For appliances, the model number of the source host Logger. (For software Logger, this is shown as Software.)

You can perform the following initial configuration management tasks:

- Import an Initial Configuration
- Push an Initial Configuration
- View the Initial Configuration Event History
- Delete an Initial Configuration
