Helix documentation is moving from docs.bmc.com to docs.helixops.ai

Key pages will redirect to the new domain on May 26, 2026. However, some legacy documentation links will not be redirected. 

In-product help links might not work after migration as we transition and update them within the product.

Defining a monitoring policy


You can define the monitoring criteria in policies and then apply them to the PATROL Agents. When you modify a policy, all the changes are automatically pushed to the PATROL Agents on which the policy is already applied. 

Ensure that you have the required permissions to define and manage monitoring policies. For details, see Configuring Infrastructure Management to monitor and manage your infrastructure systems.

When a monitoring policy is applied to a PATROL Agent, the device or server that hosts the Agent is automatically added to the list of monitored devices.
