Connector Policy Overview

Connector policy defines the conventions the connectors use to classify, filter, parse, normalize, enrich, and format CIs, relationships, and alerts received from a domain manager and send them in a specified format to the SA Manager for display in the Operations Console. Policy is provided for all connectors, and the default policy transforms all CA SOI entities so that they are compliant with the USM schema. Additional policy may also be provided for connectors that support create, update, and delete operations in the domain manager product.

The IFW uses an event-based mechanism to retrieve and process CIs, relationships, and alerts from connectors. Therefore, the term event in this section refers to any object retrieved from a domain manager's connector (including actual events).

You can write new policy or customize existing policy.
