Modifying check parameters
In addition to monitoring compliance status and remediating non-compliant settings, you can modify configuration settings to align with your organization's policies.
To adjust the desired value of a check parameter in the Fixlet check description, you must
first create a custom site. For details on custom sites, refer to Creating Custom Checklists.
Since parameters are stored as site settings, the same check can be parameterized differently
across sites containing a copy of the check.
Note: Not all checks in custom
sites can be parameterized.
Certain Fixlet checks allow you to specify a more restrictive value than the default specified by the Linux checklist, providing greater flexibility to tailor security policies to specific requirements.
Important: Custom parameterization may take a few minutes to
process. Allow sufficient time between updating a parameter and executing the Deploy and Run
Task for optimal results.
Note: Parameter changes will only take effect after running the Deploy and
Run Task. For more details, see Configuring Endpoints.
- Open the Fixlet check and navigate to the Description tab.
- Scroll down to the Parameters section and enter the desired value.
