Task 05: Configure Desired State Audit Rule

[jihyungkim]

REQUIREMENT:

1. As the Cloud Dimensions CMDB administrator, using CI Class Manager, configure a desired state audit to meet the following requirements:

Certification Filter:

• Named Windows Servers Filter and includes all Windows Servers
• Note: The certification filter defines the scope of the audit which in this case includes all Windows Servers in the CMDB

Certification Template:

• Named Windows Servers Template and includes certification attribute conditions for Operating Systems that are Windows 2012 R2 Standard, Windows 2016 Standard, Windows 2019 Datacenter
• Note: The certification template determines what criteria is being used to pass the audit, which in this case includes the 3 operating systems listed

Audit:

• Named: Windows Audit and is configured to audit which Windows Servers are certified on Windows 2012 R2 Standard, Windows 2016 Standard, Windows 2019 Datacenter and which Windows Servers are not
• Note: The audit references the template and when run, fails all Windows Servers that are NOT 2012 R2, 2016, or 2019
  
  Hi. I have a question for you.I got stuck on creating the certification template and audit in this task. I found Certification Filter, Certification Template and Audit under Windows Servers/Health/Compliance and by following the guidance, from Certification Template, I do not see Table amd Attribute Conditions (Please see attachments) so I figure this must be wrong. I appreciate your help. Thanks.
  
  Kind Regards,

Hi @Tanushree Maiti 

Thanks for your kindness.

Here is my screen and I do not know how to make all Audit State are disabled except "Windows Audit".

I tried to follow the guidance of audit strictly and looked at your screenshot but your screenshot under Audit/Problem does not match with mine. 

So maybe I need to find the root of problem although I passed Task 05 though.

Sorry about the hassle.

Thanks.

Hi @jihyungkim 

Did you execute the scheduled job for the Compliance scorecard to update the dashboard?

[jihyungkim]

Hi @Tanushree Maiti,

No I could not since my screen does not have Excute Now button but only Update. I tried Update button but it was not right. 

This means I must have done something wrong.

Hi @jihyungkim 

• Deactivate Other Audits: Navigate to Data Certification > Schedules > Audit Results and ensure all audit records are disabled except for the Windows Audit.  ( Use is not one Of operator to exclude other. For screen shot refer: Problem with Task 6 in CMDB Health Micro-Certification Simulator (Yokohama) 
• Run Compliance Job: Execute the CMDB Health Dashboard - Compliance Score Calculation job.
• View Audit Results: Navigate to Compliance > Architecture Compliance > Audit Results or use the  Data Certification Overview module to view the results.
• Verify Results: Ensure that the results show only for the specified Windows Server records in the CMDB Health Dashboard
