Understanding Zero touch and Zero touch status (NSM)

Description

Zero Touch VERSION 2.0
Zero Touch 2.0 (also known as Instant Connect) is a new microservices-based architecture to simplify onboarding of firewalls and establish a reliable connectivity between NSM and firewall. Zero Touch Deployment allows firewalls to be automatically acquired by your network infrastructure with minimal user intervention.

Zero-Touch Status:

The ZERO TOUCH STATUS section under ZT, Analytics & Reporting Status provides information on ZeroTouch connection between firewall and NSM. The ZERO TOUCH STATUS section is displayed only for firewalls that have zero-touch feature enabled.

NOTE: 
Zero Touch will not cause the firewall to reboot or push any changes to the firewall. The only thing that will happen after the firewall gets acquired in NSM is that the NSM will push the local firewall to Non-Config Mode.
