Hi community,
Today I was doing some changes on my MS switches. After doing the changes and trying to understand why they didn't work, I realized the configuration was "out of date". After some time, the config changed to "up to date", so I thought it was a temporary issue. But right now I am doing more changes, and the config keeps "out of date" for many minutes (right now more than 18). According to the documentacion and also to the following thread, there are 3 reasons an AP on your network will report this alert message (and I think is the same for the switches):
https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless-LAN/Configuration-out-of-date/td-p/2488
I am pretty sure point 1 and 2 are not the root cause, since my firewall is not blocking ports, the DNSs are reachable, and also I made many configuration changes other days and they worked well. What can be the reason? How can I check is not a Meraki dashboard or Meraki public servers issue?

Are you making the changes to an AP or Switch? What type of changes are you making? I can possibly try in my dashboard to see how long it takes. Also double check Help>Firewall Info to verify the things listed there are not possibly blocked upstream.
Hi Adam,
Changes are on my switches, I am changing the untagged VLAN of access ports from 1 to 20.

I just tested that from my dashboard. Took < 10 seconds for the switch to get the config update. Note: I only changed one port. It was an access port and I changed it from one VLAN to another. My dashboard is on n86 though so your host could be different.
Hi Adam,
So it is weird. I also have changed only one port from VLAN 1 to VLAN 20. Right now is "out of date" for 44 minutes :S

This is likely best solved by support. They can access the error logs that will tell you why the config is failing to sync. I'd give them a call.
Hi,
Right now the config changed to "up to date". Is there any place when I can see logs or something to try to see what is happening?

The only logs you can see are under Network-wide --> Event log. That won't have anything about the config sync in it though. If you export to Syslog you get more detail, but I still don't think there's anything in there about the config sync.
Hi guys,
Today is fine, if I make a config change it takes around 1-2 minutes to update. Maybe the yesterday's cause was a Dashboard temporary outage.

Cool. Glad to hear it's working better now.
Good to know it was temporary.
