Set up Content Agent Triggers

After setting up your content agents and building the content indexes, you must assign the agents to triggers in your user policies. These triggers fire when they detect a file that matches a fingerprint in the content agent's index.

You also need to give these triggers distinctive names and, typically, an appropriate policy class. This enables reviewers to easily search for fingerprinted files captured or blocked by CA DataMinder.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the Administration console using an account that has the 'Policies: Edit policy' administrative privilege.
2. Expand the User Administration branch.
3. Right-click a user or group and choose Edit Policy.
4. In the User Policy Editor, select the trigger you want.

   For email triggers, you can only assign content agents to a Content Agent trigger.

   For Data In Motion and Data At Rest triggers, you can assign content agents to any trigger.

5. (Data In Motion triggers and Data At Rest triggers only) Edit the Use Content Agents For Files? trigger setting. Set this to 'Use content agents to analyze text content'.
6. Edit the Which Content Agents? trigger setting and add the content agents that you want to associate with this trigger.
7. Edit the Trigger Name and Policy Class settings as required.

   Reviewers will search for 'fingerprint events' using these trigger names and policy classes.
