Configuring after installation

You can configure the BMC ProactiveNet Amazon Web Services Monitoring solution when you create a policy. A policy is a template containing the configuration of a PATROL Agent. A policy can be assigned to one or more PATROL Agents by using a unique tag (Central Monitoring Administration tag), and a PATROL Agent can be assigned one or more policies with different precedence.

A policy contains the following major elements, each corresponding to a specific tab in the Central Monitoring Administration:

• Name, Central Monitoring Administration tag and priority. See Configuring general settings
• Amazon Web Services solution. See Configuring monitoring settings
• Alarm thresholds. See Configuring threshold settings
• Actions to be performed on the BMC ProactiveNet Server when the policy is active. See Configuring server-side settings

If you have not already added the Central Monitoring Administration tag to your PATROL Agents during the solution installation, then you must manually assign the tag after you have configured the policy. For details, see Adding-Central-Monitoring-Administration-tags.
