Visualize compliance
Trigger agent run
Now we have applied our directive, we can trigger its application by using two approaches:
-
by using "Trigger Agent Run" straight from the webapp:
-
by connecting to our node using ssh:
vagrant ssh node
And running the agent with:
rudder agent run
You should now be able to access your site:
$ curl http://localhost:8080 <html><h1>Welcome to Rudder demo!</h1></html>
Rule compliance
In the first part we saw that Rudder provides a compliance view by node, which allows identifying individual problems, but this compliance view is not suited to get a general view of some policies compliance.
Rules, in addition to linking node and policies, provide a compliance entry point.
Go to your "Demo website" page (for example with the quick search field) and click on the rule.
It will display a compliance page with two parts:
-
A global compliance view for the rule
-
A by-node compliance view for the rule
They allow exploring compliance differently, based on what you are looking for.
At the bottom, you will see the Recent changes graph, which lists the changes done by Rudder for this rule. Click on a time slot and the details will be displayed in the table below.
Compliance is also available through Rudder API, allowing to monitor and alert over compliance levels.
