Checked with Central Engineering, this is their response:
-------------
Mechanisms to debug a template push is via the audit trail, show log -r from the switch & checking the errors in the config dashboard in central.
If the error is in the template header the only error that would be visible would be a corrupted download file message in switch logs.
Errors visible from the template :
Seems to be edited by hand . To generate a template. Configure the same on a switch and use the show run as a starting point to avoid errors.
For example all the ports are untagged to vlan 99 , in the switch when we do this a corresponding no command is added under vlan 1 from where it is removed. This would cause the switch to reject the config. Hand edited templates are not supported by switch team as well.
If the template being used is the one pasted in the link , it wouldn’t work across switches. The template header is unique and can’t be applied across switches . Also the template header changes across upgrades.

The template header is unique , please use the _sys variable which would automatically fill in the header during template push.Sys module command similarly takes care of the module command in template.
These should fix the most obvious errors , however without debugging for the switches present in group we can’t be sure this will be error free.
