6.3.2. Creating a Compliance Policy

Procedure

1. Navigate to Hosts > Policies, and select whether you want a manual, Ansible, or Puppet deployment.
2. Enter a name for this policy, a description (optional), then click Next.

3. Select the SCAP Content and XCCDF Profile to be applied, then click Next.

   Until BZ#1704582 is resolved, note that the Default XCCDF Profile might return an empty report.

4. Specify the scheduled time when the policy is to be applied, then click Next.

   Select Weekly, Monthly, or Custom from the Period list.

   • If you select Weekly, also select the desired day of the week from the Weekday list.
   • If you select Monthly, also specify the desired day of the month in the Day of month field.

   • If you select Custom, enter a valid Cron expression in the Cron line field.

     The Custom option allows for greater flexibility in the policy’s schedule than either the Weekly or Monthly options.

5. Select the locations to which the policy is to be applied, then click Next.
6. Select the organizations to which the policy is to be applied, then click Next.
7. Select the host groups to which the policy is to be applied, then click Submit.
