By adding monitored systems to a policy, you define which systems to compare with the policy and display exceptions on the dashboard in the ICS Integrity web interface. This information helps make sure exceptions can be acted upon in a timely manner.
When you are initially developing a policy, you may want to add only one monitored system as a benchmark. This process allows you to compare the large group of policy items to a single system, which can help you adjust and fine-tune the policy as needed.
To associate monitored systems with a policy:
-
In the Admin Utility, click the Policy Management link.
-
In the Policy list, select the policy you want to add monitored systems to.
-
Click Monitored System.
-
On the Select Monitor Systems window, navigate down to the system you want in the left pane.
-
Click and drag the selected system to the right pane.
-
Click Save, and then click Close. The new selection is displayed in the Monitored System list.
-
Click the Run button, and then click the Results button to view the results. For more information, see Running a Policy and Evaluating the Results.
