Introduction

When a device is audited, attributes are divided into sections which correspond to tables in the database.

When the audit result is processed, each item in each section is has it's audit result compared to what is in the database.

For each section, if the columns contain the identical values, it is considered already installed and updated. No change_log entry is created.

If any of the columns do not match, it is considered a new attribute and inserted. A change_log entry is created if the device had other attributes already present in the table.

At the completion of the audit processing, any database items that have not been updated (or inserted) are considered to not be present. A change_log entry is generated.

Each section and it's "matching" columns are below.

NOTE - There are some exceptions as detailed below.

*1 - If the computer is a VMware Esx machine it also uses the net_index and connection columns.

*2 - If the computer is an AIX machine, we use the partition name.
