Parameters compliance change hardware

[MauroBonder]

Hello,
I am needing to create a rule that checks compliance if there are any hardware change.
example:
VM 1 Yesterday: 2vCPUs / 4GB RAM / 20 GB Disk
VM 1 Today: 2 vCPUs / 8GB RAM / 30GB Disk

In this case would give a signal in compliance that memory and disk was enhanced.

Someone could tell me the right parameters for this?

I´m using vcm 5.7

Thanks !

Hi,

This is not a compliance use case rather a change management use case.

VCM can automatically detect such changes and report or alert it. You don’t need to write any compliance rule for it. See the attached snapshot. Try doing in your environment and I am sure you would achieve what you are looking for.

If your requirement is for a particular VM and you want it to adhere to a particular configuration always, only then you should be writing a compliance rule specific to that VM or those set of VMs. In all other cases, this is better handled via change management.

Please let me know if you would require any other information on this.

Thanks and regards,

It helps. But I believe that in the photo you sent there are some filters applied, or not?

Actually i need that any change in the configuration of virtual machines I receive an alert by email.

Thank you!

Hi,

This is the snapshot of VCM 5.7.1. I didn't apply any filter as such. I just grouped by to show you what you need. You can create alerts on change management and on a particular field say CPU or Memory.

Please note that the alert would be generated when the change is detected and in VCM world, changes are detected when you run collections. So, if you don't run collections and changes are made by the user - you wont know. You would come to know of them only when you do regular collection. It depends on you, how much you want to set your collection frequency to.

You can use the user guides to configure alerts or if you are a customer with support options, please log a ticket for assistance.

i already found the configuration ideal to do it.
