A compliance baseline is created and listed. A compliance comparison is initiated when the baseline is created or updated.
The overall compliance level of the baseline is indicated in the COMPLIANCE column. For information about the fields in the
list, see Managing the device configuration compliance on page 104.
NOTE: Whenever a configuration baseline is created, a configuration inventory job is automatically created and run
by the appliance to collect the inventory of the devices associated with the baseline for which the inventory data is
unavailable. This newly-created Configuration inventory job has the same name as the baseline for which the inventory
is collected. Also, on the Configuration Compliance page a progress bar indicating the progress of Inventory job appears
alongside the respective baseline.
