How to Create SystemEDGE Policy

You create SystemEDGE policy to define a set of monitors, AIMs to load, configuration preferences, and other settings that control how the agent runs and what it monitors. Once you create a policy, you can apply it to any number of systems running SystemEDGE agents in managed mode. Policy lets you perform all configuration operations that you can manually configure locally with the benefit of a consolidated interface, pick lists, and dynamic deployment to remote systems.

The following process describes how to create SystemEDGE policy:

1. Click the Resources tab, open the Configure pane, expand Policies, and click SystemEDGE.

   The SystemEDGE pane appears.

2. Click + (New) on the Available Policies toolbar.

   The New SystemEDGE Policy dialog appears.

3. Enter a name and description for the policy and whether to base it on an existing policy and click OK.

   The policy is created, and a configuration screen appears in the right pane.

4. Define monitors to include.
5. Define control settings.
6. Define SNMP settings.
7. Define MIB extensions.
8. Click Save Policy.

   The policy is saved.
