METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REMEDIATING POLICY TEST FAILURES, INCLUDING PROMOTING CHANGES FOR COMPLIANCE REVIEW
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, at least one pattern relating to nodes within a computer network that can be affected by execution of a remediation script, wherein the remediation script is to be executed by one or more nodes, in response to a failure of one of a plurality of policy tests performed on the computer network;
identifying, by the computing device, one or more nodes within the computer network, based at least the at least one pattern; and
based upon the at least one pattern, promoting for compliance review, by the computing device, the one or more nodes identified whose state has changed after execution of remediation script.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and articles for promoting changes that result from remediation performed within a computer network, for compliance review. Policy tests may be provided within the computer network, which comprises a number of nodes. The policy tests may relate to configuration parameters and compliance requirements for various nodes within the computer network. At least one pattern relating to nodes within the computer network that may be affected by execution of a remediation script is determined. Nodes within the computer network may be identified, based at least in part on the at least one pattern. Subsequent to execution of the remediation script, a list of nodes whose state has changed may be promoted for compliance review.

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors, and having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions configured to enable the apparatus, in response to execution of the programming instructions, to; determine at least one pattern of nodes within a computer network that can be affected by a remediation script, wherein the remediation script is to be executed by one or more nodes in response to a failure of one of a plurality of policy tests performed on the computer network; identify nodes within the computer network, based at least in part on the at least one pattern; and based upon the at least one pattern, promote for compliance review, the one or more nodes identified whose state has changed after execution of remediation script.
