Policy Designer Dialog: Evaluation

The Evaluation section lets you specify how you want the policy to be evaluated.

This section contains the following fields:

Always evaluate Policy when a collect task is performed

Specifies whether the policy should be evaluated each time a collect task is performed. Selecting this option is useful whenever you want to get a current snapshot.

Note: This option is system resource-intensive. Select this option only for critical policies.

Designate Engine to evaluate Policy

Specifies whether the policy should be evaluated by the engine.

Engine

Specifies the engine that evaluates the policy.

Update interval

Defines the interval between each evaluation of the policy. The selected engine evaluates the policy at the specified interval.

Note: Evaluation frequency for CA provided query based policies in this release. The default query based policies use the System Engine by default with update interval to 24hours. For upgrades the older settings will be prevailed. For the custom configuration policies you can select an appropriate engine.
