Creating Policies for Discovery

You can create an infrastructure policy that generates an event, sends an e-mail, or runs a custom command when an element is discovered.

IMPORTANT: If you plan to use e-mail notification with your policy, first assign an SMTP server from which the management server can send its e-mail notifications. See ”Setting Up E-mail Notification” on page 154.

To create a policy for discovery:

1.Access Policy Manager as described in the topic, ”Accessing Policy Manager” on page 532.

2.In the Policy Manager tree, expand the node, Infrastructure Policies. Then, select New Element Discovery.
