Creating or editing a monitoring policy
A policy is applied when the Central Monitoring Administration receives a request from the BMC PATROL Agents that match the agent selection properties in the policy. When you update a policy, all the changes are automatically pushed to the BMC PATROL Agents on which the policy was applied.
To view policies
From the navigation pane on the left side of the Central Monitoring Administration window, click Policies > Monitoring > All to see all the monitoring policies that are defined in Central Monitoring Administration. If your system recognizes more than one tenant, you can view lists of policies that are filtered by tenant or global policies that apply to all tenants.
On any policy view, you can perform the following actions:
- Sort policies by clicking column headings
- Search for text that appears in any of the columns
- If your system recognizes more than one tenant, search for policies by tenant
- Create or edit policies
- Enable or disable policies
- Delete policies
Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
