5.6

You might choose scoring by rule rather than by results when some rule groups return significantly more
rules than other rules in the same rule group. For example, a rule that checks user accounts returns one
result per user account on an object, but a rule that checks a password policy returns only one result for an
entire system.
Weighted Rule Percentage is the percentage of the compliance rules in the templates where the Critical
severity rule are weighted more heavily than the Low severity rules. For example, the weighted rule
percentage is 53. This score is calculated based on a weighted value of 10 compliant rules out of a total of
19 rules.

Detail Level Score Aggregation
After the initial scoring, the Standards Compliance Settings determine the badge scores that are calculated
for the vCenter Operations Manager badges, based first on the Detail Level aggregation, and then on the
midpoint and magnitude.
The level from which to roll up the badge scores that are generated for each mapping.
Use the Standards Compliance badge settings to select the level of detail at which to roll up the scores, and
the midpoint and magnitude used to adjust the scores that are reported in vCenter Operations Manager.
Templates in Mappings Score Results
Mapping 1 Template 1 80 10,000
Mapping 1 Template 2 50 5
Mapping 1 Template 3 100 1
Mapping 2 Template 4 30 100
Mapping 2 Template 5 75 500

Compliance Result: To roll up at the compliance result level means that the scores for the templates
assigned to the mapping, times the number of compliance results for each score divided by the total
number of compliance results.
For example, Mapping 1 has three templates using the scores and results provided in the Scoring table.
The scoring is calculated as (80*10,000)+(50*5)+(100*1)/(10,000+5+1)=80, where 80 is the score.
