Synopsis

  • This module allows to create, modify, and delete a configuration compliance baseline on OpenManage Enterprise. This module also allows to remediate devices that are non-compliant with the baseline by changing the attributes of devices to match with the associated baseline attributes.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.7.5

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

command

string

create creates a configuration baseline from an existing compliance template.create supports check_mode or idempotency checking for only names.

modify modifies an existing baseline.Only names, description, device_ids, device_service_tags, and device_group_names can be modified

WARNING When a baseline is modified, the provided device_ids, device_group_names, and device_service_tags replaces the devices previously present in the baseline.

delete deletes the list of configuration compliance baselines based on the baseline name. Invalid baseline names are ignored.

remediate remediates devices that are non-compliant with the baseline by changing the attributes of devices to match with the associated baseline attributes.

remediate is performed on all the non-compliant devices if either device_ids, or device_service_tags is not provided.

Choices:

  • create ← (default)

  • modify

  • delete

  • remediate

Notes

Note

  • This module supports check_mode.

  • Ensure that the devices have the required licenses to perform the baseline compliance operations.
