A blueprint is a set of configurations applied to one or more devices. These configurations include apps, update frequencies, volume and brightness levels, and more.
In short, a blueprint creates a uniform experience for device users and a desired state for device administrators.
If a device strays from its desired state, it’s in drift. This could be because the settings on the device were altered, or you edited the blueprint to create a new desired state.
When you apply a blueprint to a device, you converge it.
If a converge fails, the Event Feed will log what errors occurred.
Default Event Feed Failures
By default, if a blueprint fails to converge, you can keep track of failures in the Event Feed.
| Failures | Event Feed |
| Fails to uninstall the app during an app sync. | |
| Fails to install any enterprise apps. | |
| Timeout occurs while installing Google Play apps. | |
| Fails to restore the local version of the file during a file sync. | |
| Fails to download any content files. | |
| Fails to set the system update policy. | |
| Fails to set the screen timeout on the device. |
A success message is expected. |
| Fails to add or connect to Wi-Fi access points during a Wi-Fi sync. |
Use the Event Feed to diagnose converge failures.
