# Validate Configuration

The validate configuration task will check the configuration deployed by a pipeline to determine if all settings were set correctly. This task only works if you have a deploy configuration task earlier in your pipeline.

When the task executes it does the following:

* Downloads the current environment settings (constants, scheduled events, custom runtime settings) from the target environment.
* Compares the current settings (names and values) to the settings in the configuration that was selected and deployed earlier in the pipeline.
* If all settings match the task completes successfully, if not the task will fail.

The following options are available:

* **Proceed on Failure.** If enabled, the pipeline will continue executing when this step fails.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bluestorm.io/administration/pipelines/validate-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
