Steps to enable Linux configuration metrics

Follow these steps in your monitoring policy tool (Helix/TrueSight):

1. Create or edit a policy and set Platform = Linux.
2. Under Monitor Profile, select Linux Default.
3. Under Monitor Type, select Linux KM Configuration.
4. Enable the checkbox: ✔ Collect OS Configuration.
5. Save and deploy the policy to the target Linux Patrol Agents.
6. After deployment, allow the agent a few polling cycles (or restart the agent if required by your change control) for data to appear.
