Viewing results
Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance will run the validation of devices against policies and generate the validation results. All results across all validations will be stored in the Netcool Configuration Manager - Compliance database, and are available for review by the user until they are removed through house keeping.
Before you begin
- Sort the results based on column headers
- Increase and decrease column width to better view the data
- Hide and unhide rows and columns
- Access Summary and detailed information by allowing the user to drill down on specific devices to view configuration level detail
- Use customizable Paging feature for easy navigation through results
- Export Policies in the Validations screen
The Results page gives the user access to compliance validation results based on their level of security. There are a number of different views in the Results tab, where validation results can be viewed and analyzed. Whilst the Home page provides a summary of all devices on the network, the Results tab indicates policy status in a greater level of detail.
Users have various methods to review these results. They can review results in context of the ad-hoc, unscheduled, scheduled or automated process that generated the results. Users only interested in policy violations may want to review the notifications that were generated during the various compliance validations. Users also have the ability to perform a detailed search through the results and immediately see the result of their search.
Remedial actions may be generated for devices that violate a policy. These remedial actions will be placed in the remedial actions queue. Network engineers can approve the remedial actions in this queue, which will then trigger a configuration change action to run against the device to bring the device back into compliance.
