Policies allow sets of configuration data to be applied to one or more systems, providing a consistent method of configuring systems that are in similar roles.
Performance
Performance polices define the performance data to collect, together with scaling factors, thresholds, charting and alerting options.
"Auto-expanding" policies allow all the performance items within a group to be determined dynamically at when the policy is applied.
This allows a policy to easily include, for example, all the logicial disks or network interfaces on each system, without needing a different policy for each system with a different hardware configuration.
Events Log Filters
Event log policies define the event log filters to be included.
Responses
Response policies define responses to monitored incidents.
A response action hierarchy allows a response action to be defined for all incident types, for a group of incident types, or for an individual incident type.
Initial Definition
ServerAssist is shipped with a number of pre-defined policies that help to ensure consistent, accurate and effective server monitoring.
User-Modification
The policies shipped with ServerAssist can be modified or deleted, and additional polices can be created to represent the specific monitoring configurations required by individual organisations.
System Specific
A number of separate policies can be applied wholly or in part to an individual system or an entire group, and when applying a policy, an existing configuration can be either extended or replaced.
When processing policies automatically, applicability rules allow a policy to be limited to only systems that meet selected criteria.
