Assessment — how is the node?
Runs the checks of the chosen profile, composes the inventory and classifies what needs attention, with the evidence of each result.
Audit & Report
ProxMenux Monitor~3 min
An assessment of the node, the journal of what ProxMenux changed on it and the declaration of what is expected from it, with documents that can be printed or saved as PDF.
Three views, three questions
Audit & Report keeps apart the facts of the node, the interventions of ProxMenux and the expectations declared for it. A configuration the assessment cannot place against a declared purpose is described, not reported as a failure.
Changes — what did ProxMenux do?
Lists the files, packages, services and commands the instrumented ProxMenux scripts changed, with what was there before when it was captured.
Policy — what is expected?
Declares which guests need a backup or must start with the host, which storage is essential and the thresholds of the checks.
