About Configuration Inheritance

Configuration at the Domain level includes the following types of settings:

Descendant objects of the Domain include the Default Environment, user-defined environments, the Domain Orchestrator, and agents. Descendant objects of a given environment include user-defined Orchestrators, touchpoints including proxy touchpoints, and host groups.

Certain settings configured at the Domain level are, by default, inherited by all or specific descendant objects within the Domain. For example, all environments can inherit operator category settings from the Domain. Orchestrators can inherit operator category settings from their environment.

Because agents can operate across environments, inheritance can be from directly from the Domain or from the environment, depending on the environment configuration. Operator category settings can be overridden at the agent level. Agents inherit the heartbeat frequency property setting directly from the Domain.

Typically, configurations are inherited by default. Triggers are an exception. Trigger configurations are disabled by default at lower levels, but can be inherited after being enabled.
