To configure the Network Agent policy:

  1. In the main menu, go to Assets (Devices)Policies & profiles.
  2. Click the name of the Network Agent policy.

    The properties window of the Network Agent policy opens. The properties window contains the tabs and settings described below.

Consider that for Linux and Windows-based devices, various settings are available.

General

On this tab, you can modify the policy name, policy status and specify the inheritance of policy settings:

Event configuration

On this tab, you can configure event logging and event notification. Events are distributed according to importance level in the following sections:

In each section, the list shows the types of events and the default event storage period on the Administration Server (in days). After you click the event type, you can specify the settings of event logging and notifications about events selected in the list. By default, common notification settings specified for the entire Administration Server are used for all event types. However, you can change specific settings for the required event types.

For example, in the Warning section, you can configure the Security issue has occurred event type. Such events may happen, for instance, when the free disk space of a distribution point is less than 2 GB (at least 4 GB are required to install applications and download updates remotely). To configure the Security issue has occurred event, click it and specify where to store the occurred events and how to notify about them.

If Network Agent detected a security issue, you can manage this issue by using the settings of a managed device.
