Viewing group compliance

In the Group explorer, the Compliance view shows a rollup of compliance policy aggregates for each policy type for all members of the group as a whole, as opposed to compliance status for individual servers. This gives you a sense of whether or not the group is compliant for each policy type and for all servers in the group (and any sub-groups).

Use the status filter drop-down list to filter the view by compliance status. For example, you can choose to view only device groups that have a Non-Compliant status.

Depending on the category and your user permissions, click an action button for more details, to run an audit, to remediate a software policy or a patch policy, or to run a compliance scan on all members of the group

To view a group of servers in the Device Group Explorer:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Devices > Device Groups.
  2. In the Device Groups tree, select Public or select your own user group list. The content pane displays the contents of all device groups in the list, either all public groups or all groups your user created.
  3. Select a group of servers.
  4. Right-click and then select Open.
  5. From the Views pane of the Group explorer, select Compliance. The Compliance view displays summary and rollup compliance status information about all servers in the group.

Note This view is not available for ESXi servers.

The compliance summary pie chart is a graphical display of the overall compliance status for all policies aggregates for all associated servers in the group. Sections in the pie chart show the compliance status and percentage of each status level by category, such as Compliant, Non-Compliant, Scan Needed, Scan Failed, and so on. You can also filter this pie chart to show status only for a certain compliance category.

The details pane displays device compliance aggregate rollups by compliance categories.

Depending on the category and your user permissions, click an action button for more details, to run an audit, to remediate a software policy or a patch policy, or to run a compliance scan on all members of the group.
