Executing a Baseline Inspection Plan

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. SecMaster 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.

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.
