Audit results

An audit defines the server configurations that you want to check on a server, according to the audit’s rules. Audit results are produced by running an audit. These results show the differences between the audit rules and the actual server configuration values for each target server or target snapshot.

Whether or not you can remediate a rule depends on the rule type. The rule must support remediation and the source of the audit rule for that server must contain data to support the remediation.

Example: Some rules do not support remediation, such as a Hardware rule. You cannot remediate a server’s physical memory or hardware. Also, if your audit is using a snapshot as a source and the snapshot was unable to gather sufficient information from a rule, that rule will not be remediated.

For audits that link to audit policies, the results will show all rules in the audit. However, the results do not show the audit policy or policies where the rules were originally defined.
