System Reset

The System Reset tool has been added to enable ISSMs to audit groups of Archived Event Log Files.

A typical use case involves looping through the following steps once each set of Archived Event Log Files:

  1. Batch import Archived Event Log Files.
  2. Execute Audit Reports that optionally generate Audit Work Items and/or save to HTML, PDF or CSV.
  3. Review reports within the Management Console and/or file system.
  4. Reset the system to delete all imported Archived Event Log Files and created hosts.
  5. Start this process over with the next set of Archived Event Log Files.

To Reset the System

  • From the Menu Bar, select Tools | System Reset. The System Reset View displays.
