SCAP job result status values
Following are the possible status values for a SCAP job result:
Status | Description |
|---|---|
Pass | The target system or system component satisfied all the conditions of the rule. |
Failed | The target system or system component did not satisfy all the conditions of the rule. |
Error | The evaluation could not be completed, therefore the status of the target's compliance with the rule is not certain. This could happen, for example, if the SCAP job was run with insufficient privileges, and could not gather all of the necessary information. |
Unknown | The SCAP job encountered some problem and the result is unknown. This could happen, if, for example, the SCAP job was unable to interpret the output (the output has no meaning to the SCAP job). |
Not Applicable | The rule was not applicable to the target device of the scan. For example the rule might were specific to a different version of the target OS, or it might were scanned against a platform feature that was not installed. |
Not Checked | The rule was not evaluated by the SCAP job. This status is designed for rule elements that have no check elements or that correspond to an unsupported checking system. It can also correspond to a status that is returned, if the checking engine does not support the indicated check code. |
Not Selected | The rule was not selected in the benchmark, that is it was not included in the profile that was selected for this SCAP job. |
Informational | The rule was checked, but the output from the SCAP job is simply information for auditors or administrators, it is not a compliance category. This status value is designed for rule elements whose main purpose is to extract information from the target rather than test the target against a rule. |
Fixed | The rule had failed during the last SCAP job execution, but has since been fixed. |
