114 Monitoring and Alerting
Client Update Automation Policy
A client policy update is needed any time a new device is discovered or a
monitor policy, metric, or rule is updated. This feature causes an automatic
update of the client policy every time a new device is discovered, which
restarts the monitor agent and will terminate any open connection to that
agent. However, this policy causes a brief interruption to the current monitor
process while the remote monitoring agent updates. You must still manually
force the client update (see “Forcing a Client Policy Update“for more
information) or wait for the next polled client update to occur (default every
hour) after any policy, rule, or metric change.
NOTE: This feature applies to agentless monitoring only.
You can find the task defining this feature by clicking Manage Automation
PoliciesIn the Automation Policies page, in the System Messages tab, select
Dell NS Client Update Automation Policy.
