Fleet Audits
Evidence-based fleet assessments and PDF reporting.
How an audit runs
An operator explicitly selects audit type and target switches. The engine uses bounded cross-device concurrency while all commands for one audit/device share one serialized SSH session.
Stored evidence
The audit engine stores normalized findings, evidence summaries, severity, coverage and command-level compatibility errors. It does not persist raw SSH credentials, and raw command output is not retained as the audit-history model.
Coverage semantics
Unsupported or unavailable commands reduce evidence coverage rather than becoming false device faults. Full Switch Health combines only reported evidence; unavailable metrics do not reduce the health score.
Active audit catalog
| Audit | Category | Commands | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermal Health Audit | Hardware health | 1 | Evaluate reported temperatures and device-reported thermal thresholds/status. |
| Fan & Cooling Audit | Hardware health | 2 | Check fans and correlate cooling faults with thermal state. |
| Power Supply Health Audit | Hardware health | 1 | Check PSU state and identify failed or degraded power redundancy. |
| PoE Capacity Audit | Power over Ethernet | 4 | Review PoE delivery, per-port fault state, PSU context, Ethernet link state and available power budget. |
| Interface Error Audit | Interfaces | 3 | Find CRC/FCS, interface errors, drops, discards and collisions and correlate them with live port state and alias. |
| Port Stability Audit | Interfaces | 3 | Detect repeated link-state transitions and correlate unstable ports with their current state and alias. |
| Uplink Health Audit | Connectivity | 4 | Check managed-switch LLDP uplinks for state, media degradation and error evidence. |
| Configuration Save Audit | Configuration safety | 4 | Identify working/certified or running/persistent configuration that is not synchronized. |
| Full Switch Health Audit | Executive health | 11 | Correlate hardware, environment, power, interfaces, PoE, configuration and control-plane health into one score. |
PDF reports
Reports are generated on demand from normalized audit records and can include severity distribution, plain-language interpretation, exact read-only collection commands, audit-specific evidence tables and recommended verification steps.
