1 Overview
Policies are created and edited in an application. A policy is instructions for the monitoring of something from a computer. Policies are deployed to a node using groups.
After entering an application use the breadcrumb navigator to select the policies option to see the policies view
2 Policy types
There are currently 14 different policy types. Each policy is targeted to monitor a different aspect of a server.
- Command execution Runs a executable or script on a server and returns the result
- Disk / Filesystem Montor the used space and free space for a file system
- Event Intercept an event sent from the event program and inspect it for enhancements
- HTTP response Monitor a webpage for key performance metrics
- Log file Watches a log file for text matches or file size
- Ping response Ping a host and inspect the return results
- Port availability Watch the local or a remote host for the availability of a port
- Process performance Watch a local process for key metrics
- Service status Watch a local service for service state changes
- SNMP policy Poll a SNMP device
- SNMP Trap recipient Inspect a received SNMP trap
- Veloopti agent health Watch a Veloopti agent to see whether it is connected or not
- Windows performance library Inspect the Windows Performance Library
- CI Metric thresholds Inspect the global metrics that are being collected for the node
3 Deploying a policy to a server
Policies are deployed to a server by adding it to a policy group. The policy group must also be linked to a node group that contains the server that the policy is to be deployed to.
One or more policies can be added to a policy group. A policy in a policy group is a member of the group. In order for the policies in the policy group to be deployed to the nodes in a node group the policy group must be linked to the node group. A policy group can be linked to one or more node groups. All nodes in the node group that have a policy group linked to it can have the policies deployed to them.
A policy group is located in an application and is not able to be linked to a node group outside of the application. A policy cannot be directly deployed to a node.
