View Summary Information of Golden Config Check

Golden Config Check results shown in the Golden Config Pane come from the following two sources:

  • Golden Config Check triggered by Change Analysis at the backend (mainly from Benchmark).
  • The golden config rules in Golden Config pane can be verified only after users manually verify golden config rule in Golden Config.

The Summary Information of Golden Config Check is displayed at the top of this pane to provide basic statistical information. The summary information includes:
 

  • The total number of map devices that match with the Golden Config Rules.
    Information Note: End system type devices are not counted.
  • The total number of Golden Config Rules that match with all these matched devices.
  • A summary of the last Golden Config Check results, including the count of alerts (indicated by red color) and the count of compliances (indicated by green color) from all the Golden Config Rules.
    Information Note: Muted alerts are not counted.
  • A tip window will appear after hovering a color block in the Summary Information area to provide an overview of the summary information about Golden Config Rules:

      Information Note: Devices under the same rule will be placed in descending order by the number of alerts generated. If the numbers of alerts are the same, these devices will be arranged in descending order by the number of compliances.
    2. For Rules block, the tip window will display information per Golden Config Rule. Devices matching a rule will be listed under this rule.
