Ok, I don't know what made me think of this today and never before, but I saw something that just made me wonder a bit...
When I produce my compliance reports, at the top of the report above all the columns/rules, there is a title to the report. Let's say the title was "Acme Shoe Repair Routers". Now, lets say there were 980 devices included in this report, so I would expect compliance manager to search through the latest of each one of these devices configs. However, the # that is actually there is much greater in every case. Like for this group with 980 devices in it, it says "searched 30816 configs". I'm guessing that's the total # of configs out there for the devices I have included for this report? Not a very useful number IMHO...
Just curious why is that? I would think it should just search only the latest config? I even looked through the compliance report configs to see if I had something set wrong, and the only thing I could find was:
"Search most recent config type", where you could choose "Any", "Running", "Startup" and "Baseline". I have mine set to any, but I would expect that to only search the latest config no matter what type it was. Even if it did have to at least look at each of the latest configs to figure out which one was newer, I wouldn't expect the # to be more than 3x the # of devices (980) or approx 2940 config, not the 30K+ that its searching?
Hopefully its only parsing that one latest config for the rules at least? If that is the case, I would personally find it more useful to tell me the # of devices configs it searched rather than the total # of configs stored for all the devices...
