Viewing compliance of an audit policy

In the Audit Policy browser, you can view the status of managed servers (targets) that are attached to a certain audit policy.

When you create an audit policy and a target references it, you must run the audit to display its compliance information in this browser. At least one audit run or an existing audit result that links the audit policy to the target is required to display the compliance status of the target server.

Select audit policies that are critical for maintaining compliance in your data center. You can also see which managed servers are non-compliant. Compliance status is based on the latest audit results and/or any audit policy changes.

To view compliance of an audit policy:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Audit and Remediation > Audit Policies.
  2. Select an operating system: Windows or UNIX.
  3. Open an existing audit policy and perform one of the following steps:

    1. Select an audit and then double-click.
    2. Select an audit, right-click, and then select Open.

    The Audit Policy window appears.

  4. In the Audit Policy window, in the Views pane, select Compliance.

    The content pane lists all managed servers that are referenced in the audit policy and their compliance status.
  5. (Optional) To view detailed information about a server in the list, select it and then click View to display the Server browser.
