Role Variables
This role is designed that the end user should not have to edit the tasks themselves. All customizing should be done by overriding the required varaibles as found in defaults/main.yml file. e.g. using inventory, group_vars, extra_vars
Tags
There are many tags available for added control precision. Each control has it's own set of tags noting what level, if it's scored/notscored, what OS element it relates to, if it's a patch or audit, and the rule number.
Below is an example of the tag section from a control within this role. Using this example if you set your run to skip all controls with the tag services, this task will be skipped. The opposite can also happen where you run only controls tagged with services.
tags:
- level1-server
- level1-workstation
- scored
- avahi
- services
- patch
- rule_2.2.4
