Compliance Remediation Actions
Use the Compliance Remediation Actions portlet to manage remediation actions. Compliance
policies are used to scan a target for configuration that it expects to be present, or check for
configurations that it expects to not exist.
You can create a remediation action script that fixes a failed policy. A remediation action can apply
Commands to a target or remove configuration from a target. You can manually execute the action
or automate the corrective action so that when a policy failure event occurs, the event triggers the
remediation action and brings the device into compliance.
The Compliance Remediation Actions portlet allows you to create a custom filter so that you only
see actions that apply to compliance policies. The current portlet configuration will display all
avaliable actions. The easiest way to filter is by Name. You should have a naming convention for
your user created compliance-related actions. For example, all new compliance related actions start
with “Remediation-”. Then create a portlet filter like:
Name begins with Remediation-
Once you apply the filter, only the relevant compliance actions are listed.
Import/Export Provides the following actions when available for the selected image:
• Import retrieves a file containing XML compliance descriptions. Some imports

• Export Selection exports the selected description to an XML file.
• Export All exports all descriptions to an XML file.

You must import data into the correct portlet. For example, you cannot import event
data into the Actions portlet.
If one type of data depends on another, you must import the other data before
importing the data that depends on it.
