General

In the General tab, you can modify the policy status and specify the inheritance of policy settings:

• In the Policy status block, you can select one of the policy modes:
  • Active

    If this option is selected, the policy becomes active.

    By default, this option is selected.

  • Out-of-office

    If this option is selected, the policy becomes active when the device leaves the corporate network.

  • Inactive

    If this option is selected, the policy becomes inactive, but it is still stored in the Policies folder. If required, the policy can be activated.

• In the Settings inheritance settings group, you can configure the policy inheritance:
  • Inherit settings from parent policy

    If this option is enabled, the policy setting values are inherited from the upper-level group policy and, therefore, are locked.

    By default, this option is enabled.

  • Force inheritance of settings in child policies

    If this option is enabled, after policy changes are applied, the following actions will be performed:

    • The values of the policy settings will be propagated to the policies of administration subgroups, that is, to the child policies.
    • In the Settings inheritance block of the General section in the properties window of each child policy, the Inherit settings from parent policy option will be automatically enabled.

    If this option is enabled, the child policies settings are locked.

    By default, this option is disabled.

Event configuration

The Event configuration tab allows you to configure event logging and event notification. Events are distributed by importance level on the following tabs:

• Critical

  The Critical section is not displayed in the Network Agent policy properties.

• Functional failure
• Warning
• Info

In each section, the list shows the types of events and the default event storage term on the Administration Server (in days). Clicking an event type lets you specify the following settings:

• Event registration

  You can specify how many days to store the event and select where to store the event:

  • Export to SIEM system by using Syslog
  • Store in the OS event log on device
  • Store in the OS event log on Administration Server
• Event notifications

  You can select if you want to be notified about the event in one of the following ways:

  • Notify by email
  • Notify by SMS
  • Notify by running an executable file or script
  • Notify by SNMP

  By default, the notification settings specified on the Administration Server properties tab (such as recipient address) are used. If you want, you can change these settings in the Email, SMS, and Executable file to be run tabs.

Also, the Event configuration tab displays a notification when new event types are added (for example, in a new version of the product), and enables you to apply the new settings by clicking the Save or Save and close button.

Revision history

The Revision history tab allows you to view the list of the policy revisions and roll back changes made to the policy, if necessary.
