Disable Host Profile Component or Subprofile
You can decide whether a host profile component or subprofile is applied or considered during
compliance check. This allows administrators to eliminate non-critical attributes from consideration or
ignore values that, while part of the host profile, are likely to vary between hosts.
Procedure
1 Edit a host profile.
2 Expand the Host Profile Component hierarchy until you reach the desired component or component
element.
3 Disable the checkbox next to a component to remove it from being applied during remediation or
considered during a profile compliance check.
Note The check box is enabled by default. If you disable the check box so this component or
component element is not checked for compliance or applied during remediation, the other
subprofiles that are enabled will still be applied and checked.
Duplicate a Host Profile
A host profile duplicate is a copy of an existing host profile.
