Audit Job - Masters

The Masters panel requires you to choose a component or a component-based snapshot that functions as a master. If the Audit Job consists of multiple component templates, you must choose a master (either a component or a component-based snapshot) for each template.

The masters panel is only available when you are basing an audit on components.

Selecting a master

Select a component template and click Update g_V95_UpdateIcon.gif.

The Select Master dialog box opens. It lists all components that have been discovered for the selected component template. Expanding an entry for a component shows any snapshots that have been taken of that component.

  • To use a component as a master, select an instance of a component on a server.
  • To use a snapshot as master, expand an instance of a component, then expand the Snapshots node, and finally select the run of a snapshot job that should serve as a master.

Click OK. The Master Entries list shows the master you have selected for a particular component template.

Note

If you change the master in an existing Audit Job, the job is considered a new Audit Job and all Audit-Options are reset to default. For more information, see Audit-Job-overview.
