Baseline check items are classified into automatic check items and manual check items. This topic describes how to perform automatic check items.

To learn about the latest status of the cloud service baseline configurations, execute or let SA 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: SA periodically executes the default check plan or the check plans you configure. SA executes the default check plan at 00:00 every three days.
Immediate check: You can add or modify a custom check plan and start the check plan immediately. In this way, you can check whether the servers have certain unsafe configurations in real time.

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.
