Apply policies to apply parsing rules to data sources more efficiently than working with each rule and data source individually.
From the dashboard, click
and select Policy Editor.Use the Policy Tree to:
See rules associated with policies
Create a policy hierarchy
Note
You can only drag and drop devices onto policies.
Search for policies or devices using filters or tags
Rename, delete, copy, or replace policies
Note
Copied policy settings are applied to replaced policies, but the name remains the same.
Move policies to different devices
Import policies
Note
If importing multiple policies, the first policy overwrites the selected policy and the system inserts subsequent policies as children of the current node, leaving their hierarchical relationship intact. This option doesn't change the name of the selected policy.
Export policies
Note
Due to the possible dependency of custom rules on custom variables, you cannot export custom rules without also exporting the custom variables.
Policy hierarchy is flattened, which means the system compresses settings into one level of policy, with the most immediate policy's settings taking precedence on an item by item basis. For example, if you select a device, the system exports both policies above the selected policy. To export a parent policy, you must select its child. Also, policy settings have precedence over the parent policy settings when the file is compressed down into one level of policy.
