After you create and import a valid configuration rules file, you are ready to run the Configuration assessment.
To run the Configuration assessment:
Click the Run view tab.
Click Activate Assessment. Vivinet Assessor parses the data in the database and compares it to the rules file you supplied during assessment setup.
HINT:If you are running a Configuration assessment for a second time on the same assessment database, Vivinet Assessor checks for results from the first assessment, then warns you before emptying the database of any previous Configuration assessment results. Results from other assessments and from the Network Inventory are not discarded.
As soon as the Configuration assessment is complete, results are displayed in the Results table.
A red error symbol identifies devices that have violated a rule. The rule condition that was not met is also shown, along with address information about the device so that you can easily locate it and remedy the condition.
If any errors prevent the Configuration assessment from completing successfully, the View Error Log button is enabled. Click the button to open the Log Viewer.
