If the setting of dataguard related parameter is different between database and the broker, when doing the show configuration within DGMGRL, the following error will appear:

When showing the database in verbose:

16792, 0000, "configuration property value is inconsistent with database setting"
// *Cause: The values of one or more configuration properties were
// inconsistent with database in-memory settings or server parameter
// file settings. This may happen by altering initialization
// parameters directly instead of altering property values using Data
// Guard broker.
// *Action: Query property the InconsistentProperties on the database or check
// the Data Guard broker log to find which properties are set
// inconsistently. Reset these properties to make them consistent
// with the database settings. Alternatively, enable the database
// or the entire configuration to allow the configuration property
// settings to be propagated to to the initialization parameters.

There can also be ORA-16714 reported which has the same Cause and Fix:

ORA-16714: the value of property string is inconsistent with the database setting
