Compliance evaluation is the process of testing the rules within a policy group against a target and recording any violations in the Oracle Management Repository.
Note: The results of a compliance evaluation overwrite the previous evaluation’s results.
The highlights of compliance evaluation include:
Scheduling a compliance evaluation
To schedule a compliance evaluation of a policy group against one or more targets or group, you must have OPERATOR privilege for those targets you want to evaluate.
Editing already scheduled evaluations
Change the scheduled time for the evaluation and the targets selected for the evaluation.
Viewing the results of an evaluation
Only results from the targets for which you have VIEW privilege will be available. The rule evaluation states are rolled up in order to produce a policy group evaluation state as well as a compliance summary.
Studying out-of-box reports
The reports provide the detailed information of the evaluation results. Click the Reports tab and scroll to the Policy Groups section.
Studying the trend overview as a result of the evaluation
Use the graphs in the Trend Overview pages to visually determine whether the targets are adhering to or distancing themselves from the policy group.
