Tell me about the Policy Summary
Run a Policy Summary to get a dashboard view of your compliance status for a single policy. The Policy Summary will include data for controls evaluated in the selected timeframe.
Choose the policy you're interested in from the Policy menu, and choose a timeframe filter option next to Evaluated. Your options are: Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 15 days or Last 30 days (the default). The timeframe filter is applied to all sections, except the Trending graph.
If you have not evaluated any controls for the selected policy in the timeframe selected, then the Policy Summary will show 0 counts for the number of evaluated hosts, evaluated controls, control instances, number of controls with Pass/Fail/Error, and there won’t be any top failing hosts or top failing controls listed. See the example below.
As mentioned, the Evaluated timeframe filter is not applied to the Trending graph. This graph will show data as long as controls were evaluated at some point and may include data from more than 30 days ago. Note that the Trending graph has its own timeframe selection (from last 7 days to last 90 days).

This shows the number of controls and the number of active hosts in the policy over the trend duration period.

Note that this graph shows the actual number of controls in the policy, not the number of control instances.
