Monitor policies

Monitor policies are a set of rules that enable administrators to deploy configurations to PATROL Agents by using monitoring solutions. Monitor policies provide instructions and information about what information to monitor. For example, you can collect information about the CPU and memory utilization of your Windows environment.

A monitor policy is applied to the PATROL Agents based on conditions such as Agent name, Agent port, Agent version, Agent tag, and so on. PATROL Agents collect performance data and generate events for availability metrics. 

When PATROL Agents are deployed and monitor policies are configured, the Agents receive the appropriate configuration and begin monitoring. When an existing policy is modified, the changes are automatically applied to the Agents.

As a tenant administrator, you can create, edit, delete, copy, enable or disable, and filter monitor policies. You can also view an audit trail of all updates made to monitor policies. For more information, see  Configuring monitor policies to collect data.
