Configure and View Applied Policies

The Policy feature lets you manage the policies and templates applied to an individual server, a server group, or a service. You can perform the following operations:

• Update Policies and Templates
• View exceptions. Exceptions are SNMP sets that have been applied to the system since the policy or template that was last applied.
• View policy configuration
• View policy errors
• Bulk update Policies
• Delete Templates

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Explore pane.

   Available groups, services, and systems appear.

2. Select a system or a service. Click the Resources page, and then Monitoring Software.

   The Machine Details page appears.

3. Click Policies.

   The Policies page displays a list of Policies of SystemEDGE and SRM, and SystemEDGE Templates.

   Note: The Filter can display a list of layered templates that are Pending, Delivered (successful), Configured, and Failed.

   Bulk update for Policies:

   If the selected policy is applied to a service group, a dialog provides an option to select the machine on which you want to apply the policy.
