Manage compliance templates

Use compliance template to create compliance baselines and then periodically check the configuration compliance status of devices that are associated with the baseline. See Managing the device configuration compliance.

You can create compliance templates by using deployment template, reference device, importing from a file. See Manage compliance templates.

NOTE To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access control in OpenManage Enterprise

By selecting Configuration > Configuration Compliance > Template Management, you can view the list of compliance templates based on the scope-based access that you have in OpenManage Enterprise. For example, an administrator can view and manage all the compliance templates, however, device managers can only view and manage the templates that they create and own. On this page:

Configuration compliance is scalable to a maximum of 6,000 devices. To efficiently manage large-scale configuration compliance activity do the following:
  • Disable the default Configuration Inventory task that is triggered automatically and run it manually when needed.
  • Create compliance baselines with lesser number of devices. For example, 6,000 devices must be categorized into four separate baselines with 1,500 devices each.
  • All the baselines should not be checked for compliance at the same time.
NOTE When you edit a compliance template, configuration compliance is automatically triggered on all the baselines that it is associated with. If there is a use case of frequent template edits the above scale environment is unsupported, and it is recommended that you associate a maximum of 100 devices per baseline for optimal performance.
