Create a configuration compliance baseline

OpenManage Enterprise can assign 10 baselines to a single device and check the compliance level of maximum 250 devices at a time. To view the list of baselines, click OpenManage Enterprise > Configuration > Configuration Compliance.

You can create a configuration compliance baseline by:

When you select a template for creating a baseline, the attributes associated with the templates are also selected. However, you can edit the baseline properties. See Edit a configuration compliance baseline.

CAUTION: If a template used for a baseline is already associated with another baseline, editing the template properties changes the baseline compliance levels of devices already associated. Read through the Error and Event message displayed and act accordingly. For more information about error and event messages, see the Error and Event Message Reference Guide available on the support site.

NOTE: Before creating configuration compliance baseline, ensure that you have created the appropriate compliance template.

  1. Select Configuration > Configuration Compliance > Create Baseline.
  2. In the Create Compliance Baseline dialog box:
    • In the Baseline Information section:
    1. From the Template drop-down menu, select a compliance template. For more information about templates, see Managing the device configuration compliance.
    2. Enter a compliance baseline name and description.
    3. Click Next.
    • In the Target section:
    1. Select devices or device groups. Only compatible devices are displayed. See Select target devices and device groups.

      NOTE: Only compatible devices are listed. If you select a group, the devices that are not compatible with the baseline template, or the devices that do not support the configuration compliance baseline feature, are exclusively identified to help you select effectively.

  3. Click Finish.
    A compliance baseline is created and listed. A compliance comparison is initiated when the baseline is created or updated. The overall compliance level of the baseline is indicated in the COMPLIANCE column. For information about the fields in the list, see Managing the device configuration compliance.

    NOTE: Whenever a configuration baseline is created, a configuration inventory job is automatically created and run by the appliance to collect the inventory of the devices associated with the baseline for which the inventory data is unavailable. This newly-created Configuration inventory job has the same name as the baseline for which the inventory is collected. Also, on the Configuration Compliance page a progress bar indicating the progress of Inventory job appears alongside the respective baseline.
