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.
