CIS scan report details

The Scan report page provides detailed information on a selected CIS scan.

The metrics bar at the top of the Scan report page is divided into two sections: Compliance scan status and Puppet Enterprise job status.

The Compliance scan status section provides a brief overview of the number of nodes that have passed and failed compliance, the error percentage, the rules that couldn't be evaluated across nodes, and the scan initiation date and time.

The Puppet Enterprise job status section shows the number of nodes that ran the CIS scanner job successfully, the number that failed to run the scanner job, and the number of nodes that showed an error for the scanner job.

On the Scans page, you can click Run an ad hoc scan to kick off a new scan.
