Setting up data collection for Compliance reports
This topic provides an overview of how to set up Compliance Jobs in TrueSight Server Automation.
Compliance reports show how accurately servers are configured in relation to the compliance rules specified in component templates. These reports contain information about server compliance, policy compliance, number of compliant and non-compliant servers, and compliance trends. This information is derived from the Compliance Job runs in TrueSight Server Automation servers.
TrueSight Smart Reporting for Server Automation offers an additional type of reports that are based on compliance analysis of the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) benchmark content. The information in the SCAP Compliance reports is derived from the SCAP Compliance Job runs in TrueSight Server Automation servers. For information about SCAP, see SCAP compliance analysis in the TrueSight Server Automation documentation.
Setting up Compliance Jobs in TrueSight Server Automation
Perform the following tasks to set up the Compliance jobs in TrueSight Server Automation, needed to support the Compliance reports:
Identify the compliance rules against which you want to validate the servers in your data center and create the compliance policy using these rules. For instructions, see Adding or editing a compliance rule in the TrueSight Server Automation documentation.
You can also use compliance templates supplied by BMC to validate standard regulatory compliance of your servers. For instructions, see Creating a component templatein the TrueSight Server Automation documentation.Set up the Compliance Jobs to monitor the compliance of servers or snapshots against policies defined in the previous step. For more information, see Creating Compliance Jobs in the TrueSight Server Automation documentation.
Setting up SCAP Compliance Jobs in TrueSight Server Automation
Perform the following tasks to set up the SCAP Compliance jobs in TrueSight Server Automation, needed to support the SCAP Compliance reports:
On the TrueSight Server Automation application server, import the SCAP benchmark that is appropriate for the operating system of the target servers that you plan to select in the SCAP Compliance Job. To import a benchmark, see Importing SCAP content in the TrueSight Server Automation documentation.
Set up the SCAP Compliance jobs to monitor the compliance of servers against the SCAP content. For more information, see Creating and modifying SCAP Compliance Jobsin the TrueSight Server Automation documentation.
Running ETL
Once you have set up Compliance or SCAP Compliance Jobs, run ETL to transfer the data to the reports data warehouse.
