Unlike the settings offered on the Agents screen (which are one-time commands for triggering immediate actions), users configure the Policy settings for long-term pattern deployment on the agents.
After users organize agents into various groups and build up multi-level hierarchy among the
groups (parent groups above child groups), they can configure the Policy
settings for the top-level groups and apply the policy settings to each level by:
-
Policy Inherited: The group policy is inherited from the parent group
-
Policy Customized: The group policy is customized for specific agents/groups via StellarOne console
-
Policy Self-managed: The group policy is self-managed by local agents/groups. The local agents/groups are free from the StellarOne console's policy management and the operators at local side can configure policy settings on their own.
