How can I confirm if a benchmark has been applied to a device when using the Group with Tags feature?

Yes, you can be assured that when creating the scope of a benchmark using the Group with Tags feature:

• Only devices associated with the selected tag will be included in the benchmark scope.
  
  

• Devices in the broader group that do not have the specified tag will not be impacted or evaluated against that benchmark.

Example:

• Suppose you have a group called “CM Device tag Test ” with 20 devices.

• Out of these, only 3 devices have the tag “production: Dev server ”.

• If you create a benchmark with Group  'production: Dev server, the benchmark will apply only to those 3 tagged devices, not all 20 devices in the group.
  
  

This functionality helps you apply benchmarks to a focused set of devices, making configuration management more precise and efficient.

Recommendation:
We strongly recommend testing the benchmark on a small tagged set of devices (e.g., 2–3 machines) before applying it widely. Once confirmed to be working as expected, you can safely proceed with a broader rollout across production devices.
