Applying compliance levels and profiles

You can apply a compliance level or profile to one or more endpoints in a selected group.

  1. From the main page, select the Compliance tab. The Compliance page opens.
  2. From the Groups tray, select the group that includes the endpoints to which you want to apply compliance levels and profiles.
  3. All the system endpoints for a selected group are displayed in the compliance table. You can filter the endpoints that are displayed by using the Filtering by text text box. Enter the text that you want to filter by in the text box and press Enter. The list of endpoints from the selected group is dynamically filtered to show only rows that contain your text.
  4. Click the Show/Hide Table Columns icon to show or hide the following columns:
    • OS
    • Last Applied Type
    • Apply Timestamp
    • Apply Passed
    • Apply Failed
    • Apply Status
    • Check Timestamp
    • Simulate Timestamp
    • Simulate Passed
    • Simulate Failed
    • Simulate Status
  5. To refresh the displayed status information, click Refresh Table. To set how frequently the display is automatically refreshed, click Refresh Interval.
  6. To sync the uiServer and uiAgents with the latest subproduct data without waiting, click Sync Endpoint and select an endpoint to sync. When a subproduct is removed, installed, started, or stopped, there can be a delay of up to several minutes before the change is reflected in the PowerSC GUI. The Sync Endpoint control performs an immediate sync. You can sync only one endpoint at a time.
  7. From the Last applied type column, you can view the stack of levels and profiles that were applied to the selected endpoint. Click the down arrow in the column to view the stack of profiles. The profiles are listed in the order each was applied to the endpoint. The time that the latest profile was applied to the endpoint is displayed in the Applied Timestamp column.
  8. To apply a profile, select the check box associated with the endpoint to which you want to apply the profile. To apply a profile to all of members of the group, select the Check All check box
  9. Click Apply profiles. The Select profile to apply on 1 endpoint window opens.
  10. The levels and profiles that can be applied to the endpoint are listed. Select the level or profile that you want to apply. Click OK.
  11. You can apply profiles to multiple endpoints in a single step. Select the check box associated with each endpoint that you want to update. Click Apply profiles. The Select profile to apply on X endpoints window opens where X is the number of endpoints that you have selected. The levels and profiles that can be applied to all the endpoints are listed. Profiles that cannot be applied to all the selected endpoints are displayed. Select the levels or profiles. Click OK.
  12. The selected compliance levels and profiles are applied to each of the selected endpoints. If one or more rules cannot be applied, it is considered that they failed. If one or more rules fail, the endpoint is flagged, and the text Failed is displayed in the #Failed Rules column.
  13. From the #Failed Rules column for each flagged endpoint you can see why the rule failed. You can adjust the rules that are applied by creating a custom profile or by editing a custom profile.
