BNA Remediation results - Viewing and using

A Remediation operation for BMC Network Automation (BNA) assets runs a BNA job that performs corrective actions on the configuration of the target devices.

Remediation operations for BNA are only available when you are using Threat Director.

Currently, by default, when viewing results of remediation operations for BMC Network Automation, you must examine the results within BNA itself. To enable display of results within the portal, as described on this page, see this procedure.

In some situations, remediation operations may be run on devices that do not pass rule evaluation in BNA. For example, a rule may not be applicable to the selected device. Or, a rule cannot be remediated because no compliance violations are detected.

In these situations, the results page does not show information for those devices.

Results of a BNA Remediation operation run provide:

A pie chart showing the percentage of targets where the operation succeeded or failed.
Statistics about the operation's start and end time, duration, and status. Note that a job is considered a success if it completes successfully, even if its actions fail on some or all targets.
A series of tabs providing information and functionality relating to:

Target Results

The Target Results tab shows the compliance status of all targets of a Remediation operation for BMC Network Automation (BNA) assets.

An icon next to each target in the Targets list shows if the target has passed or failed or has some other status. Similarly, icons in the rules list at right show the status of each rule.

To search for rules or targets

In the Search Targets box, enter a text string of any length. The Targets list shows all targets with names that include that text string. If you leave the box blank, the page shows all targets. Search for rules that apply to a selected target in a similar way, using the Search Rules box.

To filter rules or targets

Take any of the following steps:

Click one of the wedges representing a status in the pie chart and rule results are automatically filtered for that status. For example, if you click Success in the pie chart, the Targets list shows only targets that have passed.
Select a compliance status in the list at the top of the Targets list (Success, Fail, or All Results). The Targets list shows only targets matching that status.
Select a compliance status in the list at the top of the Rules list (Success, Fail, or All Results). The Rules list shows only rules matching that status for the selected target.

Action Results

The Action Results tab shows the status of corrective actions performed during a Remediation operation for BMC Network Automation (BNA) assets.

An icon next to each target in the Targets list shows if the target has passed or failed or has some other status. Selecting a target shows the corrective actions performed on that target in the list at right.

To search for targets or actions

In the Search Targets box, enter a text string of any length. The Targets list shows all targets with names that include that text string. If you leave the box blank, the page shows all targets. Search for actions that apply to a selected target in a similar way, using the Search Actions box.
