Checking Device Compliance

Before you begin

Ensure that you are signed in to the SOTI Connect web console as an administrator with the Modify Rules permission.

About this task

Compliance policies evaluate devices at specific times, such as when a device’s state changes or when a rule is created, modified, or deleted. You can check the compliance status (under Device State) of a device in the Devices view.
In this example, the device state is manually changed to simulate a non-compliance condition.
Note: This example assumes a compliance rule is assigned to the device, where setting the state to Yellow marks the device as Non-Compliant.

Procedure

  1. From the SOTI Connect main menu, select Devices.
  2. In the Devices view, select a device included in the compliance rule.
  3. Select the button, then choose Set State from the device actions menu.
    Selecting a device
  4. Set State to Yellow, then add an optional comment. Select Save.
    Setting device state to Yellow
    The compliance policy flags the device as Non-Compliant.

Results

In the Devices view, the device displays Non-Compliant | Yellow.
Non Compliant Device
Note: The Device State column shows both the state (Green, Yellow, or Red) and, if applicable, the non-compliant status.
