4.4.1.2. Deployment Steps

To ensure the proper functionality of the deployed use case, it is crucial to meticulously follow the steps outlined. Keep in mind that these steps may vary based on the specific requirements and needs of your case.

Below, you will find a breakdown of both mandatory and optional steps, with the understanding that their applicability depends on your unique circumstances.

Architecture

  • Architecture: This section outlines the necessary nodes for the functioning of the use case, providing essential information related to its architecture. You can find a detailed explanation of the deployment of each node in Deployment and basic configuration.

Administration

  • Define the UD Tag Policies: By using UD Tag Policies, you can determine a device’s compliance status based on the tags assigned to it. This allows you to create custom tags for each level of compliance according to their characteristics.

Optional:

  • Define the UD Tag Application Requirements: With the use of the ON Agent, OpenNAC obtains information related to the applications and updates installed on the equipment. The UD Tag Application Requirements allow you to verify the compliance of a device based on the installed applications and the minimum version of these.

  • Define the Profiling: Improving the profiling process is important for this use case, as it allows us to apply different compliance measures based on the device type and increases the available information to enhance compliance rules.

Operation

  • Operation : In this step, you will start operating the use case and checking that all the functionalities are working as expected. If you find unexpected behavior, refer to the troubleshooting section to understand and fix the issue.

Monitoring

  • Monitoring : See how the data is being ingested and saved in ON Analytics. To check this, open the different visualizations available for this use case.
