Stateful Settings
A small number of configuration settings are considered "stateful" and are not reset to a previous value when reverting to the snapshot configuration. Such settings are generally managed by an external entity, such as Services Director.
You can override stateful settings in configuration documents, but if the setting is later removed from the configuration document its value is not reverted in the Traffic Manager's configuration.
Some examples of stateful settings that the Configuration Importer does not reset include:
- An FLA license pushed by the Services Director
- Analytics Export configuration
- Management-plane user groups
- Management-plane user authenticators
- The cluster ID
