Policy Analyzer Support (Custom Policy Rules)


Custom Policy Configuration

SapphireIMS allows you to add a custom policy configuration rule for policy analysis. 

SapphireIMS does a Policy Analysis where it compares the data collected from the host with the policy standards as per the custom policy configuration rule after every inventory collection.

The policy allows you to monitor services discovered through SapphireIMS against custom policy compliance, specify registry key values, specify file permissions and specify the policy scope or the nodes which are applicable for the policy.
