Viewing compliance violations
A compliance violation indicates that the configuration is no longer in compliance with one or more assigned rules. This feature allows you to audit established configuration standards.
You can view the compliance violations by generating the Compliance Summary report. This report displays the compliance status for one or more devices for selected or assigned rules sets.
For recommendations on resolving violations see Fixing-compliance-violations.
You can view compliance violations from the Discrepancy and Compliance Violation Details dashboard as well as from the Compliance Summary report. Enable the Display Discrepancy and Compliance Violation Details Dashboard system parameter to display this dashboard.
