Details:
● Total Fixlets in Site: 66
● Total updated fixlet: 3 (7.1, 7.3, 8.1)
● Fixlets with remediation: 17
● Parameterized fixlets: 11
● The Applicability Fixlet includes additional validation, ensuring that the Environment Setup Task log file exists, is not older than 90 days, and that results of files are present. This ensures Fixlets are reported as Not Applicable, and that the Measured Value (MV) correctly indicates that the Environment Setup Task has not been executed.
● The Environment Setup task updated to utilize atomic result refreshes, ensuring that existing results remain available until new results are generated. Results now also include a collection timestamp for better tracking and auditability.
● 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.
