Configuration Compliance question
Hello
we are just starting to use Configuration Compliance templates on a number of servers we have. however can some one tell me how to recheck a server once a template has been applied to see if any changes have occurred?
i have manualy changed a number of BIOS settings on one of the servers to see if and when Open mange flags up the issue but at the moment it is saying the server is fine.
thanks in advance

HI Josh
thanks for the reply, however no matter what report i run it still dose not start a re-check. however i have seen that at midnight each night a re-check is started but this is hit and miss. i have also refreshed the inventory, the status as well as on-boarding but again fails to pick up any changes i have made.
i have been looking through the user manuals but i can't find anything on how often communication/heartbeats between the OME appliance and discovered servers is initiated
thanks

Hi Josh
found the answer if i run an inventory from the option in the top right hand corner, with configuration inventory check box ticked, then it scans and checks the service.
thank you

Hi,
You should be able to run a report. Page 96 https://dell.to/2OPjkAc

It still does not seem to be possible to just rerun configuration inventory for one specific item, unless I create a group containing only that item in order to be able to select it from the "Run inventory" dialog?

Hello,
Could you check OME 3.4 user guide for creating reports here, please? https://dell.to/3aRN4q4;
Let us know if it helps.

As we have established before, this is not about reports.

Hi, Which OME version do you use? Is it up to date latest version which is OME 3.4.1?
Could you try this steps for OME 3.4 ;

As we have established before, it is also not about exporting data.
It is about refreshing configuration inventory for a selected number of hosts such that configuration compliance for reconfigured items can be inspected instantaneously without having to wait for the next day.
What part of the discussion makes you write about reporting and exporting?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. As you mentioned, I was unable to rerun the configuration inventory for a specific item.

BTW a possibility to run the configuration inventory for /all/ hosts is at Monitor > Jobs.
Under "Advanced Filters" Select "Source" = "All" (or "System Generated").
Then find the fixed "Configuration Inventory" job which usually runs at 02:00AM.
Click "View Details", and then "Restart Job".
It will export the Server Configuration Profile from EVERY host registered to OME and repopulate the entries in OME. You will not be able to choose a single host.
To do it for a single host, create a Static Group in the "Devices" tab. Then under "Quick Links" in the Devices tab, click "Run Inventory" and choose the previously created group, and do not forget to select "Connect configuration inventory" under "Additional options".
I just wish the device overview page had a button that would allow to refresh the configuration inventory for that particular device. *sigh* But that would be too easy I guess. I'm always wondering how and why these things are missed during design. Later they become "enhancement requests" i.e. they will never be implemented.
