Starting an Immediate Baseline Check

Scenarios

To learn about the latest status of the cloud service baseline configurations, execute or let SecMaster execute a check plan. Then you can view which configurations are unsafe in the check results. The baseline inspection supports periodic and immediate checks.

• Periodic check: SecMaster periodically executes the default check plan or the check plans you configure.
• Immediate check: You can start check items in all security standards or a specific check plan anytime.

This topic describes how to start an immediate baseline inspection. You can select the following check types:

• Immediate Check on All Compliance Packs: Check the compliance of all automatic check items in in-use compliance packs.
• Starting a Check Based on a Check Plan: Check the compliance of the check items in the compliance pack configured in a selected check plan.
• Immediate Checks on Certain Check Items: check the selected check items.

Limitations and Constraints

• An immediate check task can be executed only once within 10 minutes.
• A periodic check can be manually started only once within 10 minutes.
