CloudAware Policy Violation is treated as an object in Cloudaware, thus you can build reports & dashboards and create workflows that will send alerts in Slack, Jira, etc against it. Policy violations are stored as objects related to a Compliance Engine policy.
Attributes
The checkbox 'Lookup Field' shows whether an output object has a lookup to the object CloudAware Policy.
The checkbox 'Output Fields Mapping Class' shows whether a specific class required for correct mapping is present. If present, this class will be used automatically when a policy is deployed and run. To request a class for a new output object type, please contact Cloudaware at support@cloudaware.com.
The tab 'Status' marks whether an object is available for being used as output.
CloudAware Policy Violation Lifecycle
A policy violation is created every time the object is identified by the Compliance Engine policy as incompliant. Once a policy-violating object is fixed, a policy violation gets "Close Date" and is considered to be closed.
