Working With BSM Connector > Policy Management

Policy Management

Policies are collections of configuration information used to configure HP Operations Agent on the BSM Connector server to process integration data. When you develop policies, you decide what kinds of data to process, how often to process, what to look for in the data, and what to do if certain conditions apply.

BSM Connector provides policy editors for different policy types (for example, for XML file policies). You can import policies developed and exported on other servers, for example, HP Operations Manager (HPOM) management servers, HP Network Node Manager i (NNMi) management servers, or other BSM Connector servers.

When you create a new policy or import a policy, the policy exists in the BSM Connector policy repository but does not function yet. You must first activate the policy for it to start accessing the corresponding event source or discovering topology data.

Tip: You can sort the information that appears in the columns in the BSM Connector policy list so that data appears in either ascending or descending order, indicated by either an up or down arrow at the top of the column. In addition, you can change the order of columns by dragging columns to other positions.
