Audit compliance

In HPE Server Automation, audit and remediation allows you to define server configuration policies in an audit. An audit helps you make sure that the servers in your facilities meet your audit policy standards. An audit consists of a collection of rules that you can define to model those standards. For example, an audit can consist of Windows COM+ configurations, registry settings, services, file system settings, hardware configuration, user and group password settings, software installation, packages, and so on, that define an ideal server configuration. Or, the audit might represent a negative server configuration that enables you to determine the way a server should not be configured.

Audit compliance determines whether the rules defined in a recurring audit match the actual server configuration for all servers targeted by the audit. The Compliance view allows you to see both the aggregate and individual compliance status of all audits that run on a recurring schedule on a server or group of servers. If any of the audits are Non-Compliant , you can remediate any differences found between the audit and the audit’s target server or servers.

The Compliance view derives audit compliance servers and groups of servers from regularly scheduled audits.
