Change Management and Compliance

The OpenManage Network Manager Change Management and Compliance (also known as

ProScan) utility lets you scan stored configurations or Adaptive CLI show command output to

verify that managed devices comply with company, department, or industry standards. The

ProScan utility also automatically tracks all changes to managed devices. You can report on user-

specified values found in persisted backup configuration files for a group of devices. This lets

network managers, security officers, and external auditors to generate detailed audit trail

documents to validate compliance with both internal standards (ISO 17799, NSA Guidelines)

and industry regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA, HIPAA).

Compliance reporting lets you specify a text string, regular expression, or optionally the generated

configlet from File Management (NetConfig) for matching. Group results must be separated by

device like Adaptive CLI Manager. When Compliance policies run, the application emits

notifications whose contents depend on whether compliance was or was not maintained.

NOTE:

Your system may have several Compliance Policy examples. You can use the examples as is, or copy and

alter them to suit your network.
