Agent Configuration

The following two types of SystemEDGE configuration are available from the CA Virtual Assurance user interface:

Point Configuration

Lets you make singular, temporary changes to an agent without having to deploy policy. For example, you can change a self monitor threshold, add a temporary process monitor, or create a self monitor for an SRM test. Policy deployments override point configuration changes.

Policy Configuration

Lets you create agent configuration policy that you can deploy to sets of managed machines in one operation. For example, you can define a policy containing a set of common monitors and SRM tests and deploy that policy to all systems in your enterprise to ensure that the same important system metrics are being monitored.

Configuring agents in managed mode from the CA Virtual Assurance user interface takes precedence over all other forms of configuration. If a user makes manual changes to a local agent through the sysedge.cf configuration file or through SNMP Sets, CA Virtual Assurance policy configuration overrides these changes after the policy is applied.
