Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release User's Guide

Managing the device configuration compliance baseline

By clicking OpenManage Enterprise > Configuration > Compliance, and selecting Compliance, you can create configuration baselines by using the built-in or user-created templates. To create a configuration compliance baseline template, you must clone the existing built-in templates. To use this feature, you must have the Enterprise level license of OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release and iDRAC for servers. For Chassis Management Controller, no license is required. User's only with certain privileges are permitted to use this feature. See Role-based OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release user privileges. Also see Managing the device compliance baseline by using the OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release dashboard.

NOTE: After a configuration baseline is created by using a template, the summary of compliance level of each baseline is listed in a table. Each device has its own status, the highest severity status is considered as the status of the group. For more information about Rollup Health status, see the MANAGING THE ROLLUP HEALTH STATUS BY USING IDRAC ON THE DELL EMC 14TH GENERATION AND LATER POWEREDGE SERVERS white paper on the Dell TechCenter.

By using this feature, you can:

Use configuration compliance baseline data to set alert policies that alert you if a baseline policy is deviated. The alert is generated based on a compliance baseline that can be viewed on the dashboard page of OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release. For more information about setting the alert policies, see Monitoring device alerts.

The Overall Compliance Summary report displays the following fields:
  • COMPLIANCE: The Rollup compliance level of devices attached to a configuration compliance baseline. The status of the device with least compliance (say, critical) is indicated as the status of the whole baseline.
  • NAME: Name of the configuration compliance baseline.
  • TEMPLATE
  • LAST RUN TIME: The last time a configuration inventory report is run to check the compliance level of this baseline.

To view the configuration compliance report of a baseline, select the corresponding check box, and then click View Report in the right pane.

Use the query builder feature to generate device level compliance to the selected baseline. See Selecting a query criteria.

OpenManage Enterprise–Tech Release provides a built-in report to view the list of monitored devices and their compliance to the configuration compliance baseline. Click OpenManage Enterprise > Monitor > Reports > Devices per Template Compliance Baseline. Click Run. See Running reports.
