This section is included in every report. It identifies
the catalog used, the inventory used, and the analysis information
for the unique report. The Assessment Profile is required to interpret
any report by giving it context. Using the information in the assessment
profile, an analysis can be recreated.
| 1 | Inventory Source – This information describes the system
being analyzed and the inventory information for that system. The Model: information will only be available if the
system is local or accessed with a secure shell connection (ssh). The Inventory Date: is the date the inventory was run on the system with the swa report or swa step inventory command. |
| 2 | Catalog Information – This is the file downloaded from
ITRC with the swa report or swa step catalog command. The Catalog Date: is a
data timestamp indicating when the catalog was created on the ITRC. |
| 3 | Analysis Information – This is the file created when
the swa report or swa step analysis command was run. The Analysis Date: is the date the analysis was run. The ignore files used in the analysis
are indicated. The Issues Ignored: indicate the number of issues ignored during this analysis. |
| 4 | Selected Analyzers –
These are the analyzers the reports are based on. Although not listed,
the automatically invoked analyzer (AUTO) is always run and cannot
be deselected. The AUTO analyzer detects problems such as missing
dependent patches and unrecognized patches. If your analysis has detected
AUTO issues, you will see an Automatically invoked
analyzers section in the Issue report. Options to analyzers
are not included in the Assessment Profile, such as the patches specified
with the CHAIN and PATCH analyzers. |
