Policies

The POLICY SETTINGS page displays the Communication Control policies that can be applied to an application or version in the application list. Communication Control has its own policies. Each policy row can be expanded to show the rules for that policy. To access this page, click the down arrow next to COMMUNICATION CONTROL and then select the Policies.

Communication Control policies define the actions to be taken for a given application or application version. Each policy applies to a different Collector Group(s), and all the devices that belong to that Collector Group(s). A Collector Group can only be assigned to one policy.

The following information is defined for each communication policy:

Information Field

Description

Policy Name The policy name appears in the leftmost column. The policy name is defined when the policy is created.
Rule The rule as it applies to the policy. The default action for the policy is displayed under the default rule of the policy. For more details, see the Policy rules.
Affected Apps The number of applications affected by the policy.
Action Specifies the action that is enforced when this rule is violated (Allow or Deny).
State (Enabled/Disabled) This option enables you to disable/enable this rule.

The Assigned Collector Groups area on the right lists the Collector Group(s) assigned to the policy.
