SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Auditing a host to surface misalignments between repository policy and live machine facts, enabling evidence-based decisions about host configuration and documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inspect repo-held host representations and collect live facts to verify policy coverage and accurate documentation.
  • Produce concise verdicts, triggers, and evidence for audits of new, existing, or focused host configurations.

Quick Start

Run a baseline host audit for a specific host to compare repository policy with the live system.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a NixOS host against repository configuration policy?▼

A host configuration audit verifies repository policy against live machine facts. It inspects host files and collects live system data to uncover misalignments, producing evidence-backed verdicts with actionable recommendations.

What is the best way to check if a live machine matches its documented NixOS configuration?▼

Checking live machine configuration against documented NixOS policy requires a baseline host audit. It compares live system facts against repository representations to verify documentation accuracy and policy coverage with evidence-backed conclusions.

Can I perform a focused policy audit on specific host configurations?▼

Yes, you can perform a focused policy audit on specific host configurations. The audit applies to baseline checks, re-audits, and targeted reviews, producing evidence-backed verdicts and triggers for the focused policy areas.

Does host configuration auditing work without dependencies or external components?▼

Yes, host configuration auditing works without external dependencies. The process evaluates repository policy files, NixOS configuration data, and live system facts directly to generate evidence-backed audit conclusions and recommendations.

When do I need to run a re-audit on an existing host?▼

You need to run a re-audit on an existing host when verifying ongoing compliance after configuration changes. Re-auditing compares updated live machine facts against repository policy to surface new misalignments and documentation gaps.
