Viewing audit results

In the SA Client, you can view a list of audit results for any audit, as shown in the following figure. When you select an audit in the Library, all results associated with that audit are listed in the bottom details pane.

Audit results

Audit Result Window

The Audit Result window provides detailed information about your audit job, such as the differences between servers targeted by the audit and the rules defined in the audit, as shown in the following figure. This information helps you see whether the servers that have been audited are in compliance with the standards set for your data center.

Audit Result Window

Views

The Views pane shows an overview of the audit results, including remediation options and servers (targets) grouped by their compliance status.

Summary: Remediation options that allow you to remediate by server, by rule, or remediate all rules on all servers. Remediation is only available in instances where the target server configurations do not match the rule definitions in the audit. This Summary view also shows the source server used in the audit that the results are based on. The source of an audit can be a server, a snapshot, or no source at all. However, some rules require a source. See Audit elements.
Compliant: Servers that match all rules in the audit.
Non-Compliant: Servers that did not match all rules in the audit.
ScanFailed: Servers that the audit was unable to determine the target server configuration for, such as servers that cannot communicate with the SA core.
Skipped: Servers that were skipped.
