Audits

The Audit feature in CMDB allows you to verify the configuration and presence of Configuration Items (CIs).

• Click the Select Actions dropdown at the top-right of the CMDB list.

• Choose Audits from the dropdown.

  

You can perform audits by either creating a new audit process or adding CIs to an existing audit.

Adding to an existing audit

To attach CIs to an existing audit:

1. Select the CI(s) from the CMDB.

2. Choose Audit from the Select Actions dropdown.

3. Select the Add to Existing Audit option.

4. Use the search bar to locate the audit.

5. Select it from the list and click Add.

   

Creating a new audit

To initiate a new audit:

• Select one or more CI records from the CMDB.

• From the Select Actions dropdown, choose Audit.

• In the pop-up window, select New Audit.

  

• Fill in the following fields:

  • Name: Enter a unique name for the audit (e.g., “Java Audit”).

  • Description: Add a brief explanation of the audit purpose.

  • Auditor: Assign the user(s) responsible for conducting the audit.

  • Checked By: Assign the user(s) responsible for reviewing the audit results.

  • Run A Scan: Enable this option to trigger a probe scan on the target CI(s).

  • Select Probe: Choose a specific probe to define what the scan checks.

  • Scan Frequency: Set how often the scan should repeat, if needed.

  • Audit Result: Select the outcome (e.g., Pass, Fail, In Progress).

• Click Add to start the audit process.

Example: Java Audit Scan

When you assign a Java audit scan to a CI, the selected probe checks whether Java is installed on the system.

• If Java is present, the audit result will reflect a Pass (or custom result).

• If Java is missing, it may show Fail or In Progress, depending on the probe response.

• The Checked By field allows designated users to review and verify the automated results.
