Best practice

Present to modules only the rules they use

So that the om node compliance env –module <my module> action displays useful information. To do so,

• make use of ruleset in moduleset encapsulation.

• limit root-level public contextual rulesets to a minimum.

Minimize direct ruleset attachments

So that operators don”t have to handle ruleset attachments and only have to care about modulesets. To do so, make use of ruleset in moduleset encapsulation.

Factorize rules

A reference information should not be duplicated. You can setup a ruleset to store this reference and encapsulate it in other rulesets. Changing the reference information will be simpler and you will avoid the risk of not changing all duplicates.
