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.
  1. Open the Fixlet check and navigate to the Description tab.
