About this task

Compliance policy rules run at various times (see Compliance Policies). You can check the compliance status of a device in the Devices view. In Setting up a Compliance Policy, a compliance policy was created to categorise devices as non-compliant if the devices are in yellow or red state. In this section, the device state is manually changed to simulate a non-compliance status in those devices.

To check compliance status:

Procedure

  1. From the main menu, select Devices.
  2. In the Devices view, select one of the devices from the compliance rule created in Setting up a Compliance Policy and then select Set State.
