Setting up the Device Audit Report

Overview

The Device Audit report evaluates device configuration for compliance with CIS Benchmark requirements for the relevant vendor. Click here for a full list of supported vendors.

To use this report, SecureTrack Reporting Essentials (STRE) requires access to your devices directly; you must provide device credentials for each device in the network zone on which the report runs.

Prerequisites

  • To configure device credentials, you must have super admin permission levels in SecureTrack.

  • Managed devices must have the same credentials as their management device.

Setup Device Credentials for Device Audit Report

Use this procedure to setup device credentials. For multi-domain environments, you can filter the list of devices by Domain. You can also filter by Vendor. In addition, you can select multiple devices to test connectivity or setup credentials in bulk. The Device Audit report uses these credentials to communicate with the devices.

  1. Select Settings > Devices.

    The Devices page appears.

    The Device Credentials section shows the devices that can be included in the Device Audit report.

  2. Above the list of devices, use the Domain (for multi-domain environments) and select the Vendor to filter the list of devices that appear.

  3. Click a device and enter credentials (if they are not populated already).

    • Login Username

    • Login Password

    • (Cisco Only) Enable Password (Optional)

    • Port: Leave empty to use the default port: 443 for HTTPS and 22 for SSH.

    You can select multiple devices individually or click the first check box to select all devices.

    Note: Credentials are not displayed when you select multiple devices. You must setup credentials manually for testing multiple devices.

  4. After setting up device credentials, you can test them by clicking Test Credentials. During this process, STRE checks to see if it can reach the device with the credentials that you provided.

  5. If communication between STRE and one or more devices failed, you will get a message and this icon appears:

    Click this icon to see alerts as to which devices failed. The icon disappears when all device credentials test successfully.

  6. Click Save to save the credentials.

    If you want to stop the test credentials process, click Abort Test.
