View a compliance report

Platform 6.4+

A compliance report captures the results of a single compliance plan execution run. To open a report, click a row in the Reports tab of the Compliance Plan Reporting page.

Unlike the compliance plan detail page, which reflects the plan’s current state and history, a compliance report is a point-in-time record of a specific run.

The page header displays the plan name and the following run-level metrics as inline values:

FieldDescription
Devices CheckedNumber of devices included in this run
Compliance RateCompliance percentage for this run
Connection SuccessConnection success rate for this run
Non-CompliantNumber of non-compliant devices in this run
Connection ErrorsNumber of connection errors in this run

The following actions are available from the top right:

ActionDescription
Re-run NowTrigger a new compliance run for this plan

Connection errors

The Connection Errors panel displays connection failures from this run. It shows the number of successful connections, failed connections, and the overall success rate.

Error messages are grouped by error type and are expandable. Each group shows a count badge indicating how many devices returned that error. Click View More Errors to see the full error list.

Error messages are displayed exactly as returned by the device or adapter. When a device fails to connect without returning a specific error, the system displays: “Connection failed - no error details received from device.” For troubleshooting guidance, see Connection error reporting.

Compliance errors

The Compliance Errors section lists all Golden Configuration trees that contain nodes with compliance failures in this run. Only trees with at least one non-compliant node appear here.

Each row displays the tree and node path and is expandable. Expanding a row reveals a paginated, searchable table of devices that failed compliance for that node, along with the device groups they belong to.

Click Review → for a device to open the compliance errors detail page for that node and device.
