Changing device group compliance settings

By default, the SA Client allows you to configure the manner in which compliance for a device group is determined.

In order to change device group compliance settings, you must be a member of a group that is assigned permission to the SA feature Model: Opsware. For more information on what type of permissions you have been granted, contact your SA Administrator.

To change the settings for device group compliance:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Administration >Compliance Settings.
  2. In the Compliance Settings pane, in the Device Group Compliance section, click Edit Settings.
  3. In the Device Group Compliance Settings window, configure the following settings:
    • Display Device Group Rollup Compliance: This option allows you to show or hide the icon that indicates compliance status of the parent group shown at the top of each compliance category column. This icon indicates a compliance status rollup for all members of a selected group.

      For example, if this option is selected, when you select a device group and then from the View drop-down list select Compliance, the top column heading for each compliance category column (Audit, Audit Policy, Software, Patch, and Configuration) shows an icon that indicates the compliance status for all servers in the selected group. You can cursor-over this column heading to view compliance status for all devices in this category.
    • Member Calculations: This option allows you to choose whether or not you want to include servers that belong to sub-groups when calculating overall group compliance level for a compliance category. For example:
      • Server and group members are considered: This means that the compliance status for a device group will recursively check compliance for all servers in a group and for all servers in all sub-groups that belong to the selected device group.
      • Only server members are considered: This means that the compliance status for the selected device group will check compliance only for servers at the top level of the group and will exclude any servers that belong to any sub-group members.
    • Thresholds: Allows you to change the compliance threshold calculation percentage (%) that is used to determine device group compliance status for all compliance categories.

      By default, a device group will display the following statuses:

      • Non-Compliant—If more than 5% of its members are Non-Compliant
      • Partial Compliance—If more than 2% but less than 5% of its members are Non-Compliant.
      • Compliant—If 2% or less of its members are Non-Compliant.
    • Column Types: Allows you to change which compliance categories are able to be discovered and then displayed, such as Audit, Audit Policy, Software, Patch, and Configuration.
  4. Click OK to save your settings.
