Compliance Baseline Rules
Compliance Baseline Rules allow you to define
a baseline for nodes. The baseline feature is used in the IT Policy compliance
rule configuration and can also be used as a node selection filter.
IT policy compliance test can be performed
across systems by configuring a compliance baseline rule which involves
all the device parameters that SapphireIMS collects at the time of data
collection. The parameter includes inventory fields, asset fields, service
patches and service packs. The rule clearly defines what the selected
systems should be compliant for. The systems not matching with the configured
rule are shown as non complaint systems. This helps in giving a quick
regulatory compliance report.
