Description

A Generic Method or a Technique could check if the content of a file is not changing from a initial state that we could set manually. That permit to not know exactly the content of a file but simply ensure that the current file don't change after.

Simple scenario :
  1. Create a directive that monitor the content of a specific file, eg. /etc/hosts. By default, the content set is "blank" (but maybe we can copy/paste the content or pre-accept for the 1st run ?)
  2. Apply the directive to a node throug a rule
  3. The node show a non compliance for the directive
  4. We manually accept the change of state of the directive
