By date —When you click this radio button, you can then select a configuration file backed up
that precedes a specified date most closely in a selector that appears below the radio button.
You can scan even historic configurations for compliance, with the

validation ensures this date is the current one.
Adaptive CLI —Select a desired Show Adaptive CLI to scan the target device below the radio
button. The policy configured scans the show results, and that show appears in the Audit
screen.
Targets
The top of this screen ( Current Inherited Targets ) displays any targets inherited from already-
configured Compliance Policy Groups. Click
Add Targets in the Current Explicit Targets panel at
the bottom to select equipment that are targets to scan with this policy. You can also select listed
equipment click the
Remove icon to delete it from the list.
NOTE:
Use filtering in the subsequent selector screen to make individual selection easier, but do not forget this
is not dynamic selection. You must assign policies whenever your managed environment adds new
equipment.
