- The Environment Setup task has been updated to use atomic result refreshes, ensuring existing results remain available until new results are generated. Results now also include a collection of timestamps.
- The Applicability Fixlet has been updated to include additional validation. It now verifies that the Environment Setup Task log file exists, is not older than 90 days, and that the required result files are present. This ensures that Fixlets are reported as Not Applicable when the Environment Setup Task has not been executed, and that the Measured Value (MV) correctly reflects this condition.
- In addition, we have updated the relevance of the individual Fixlets to align with these enhanced validation checks.
- Both analysis and remediation checks are included.
- Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to enable customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization and remediation actions require the creation of a custom site.
