Adding an adaptive policy change

Follow these steps to add an adaptive policy change.

About this task

Adaptive policy changes enable you to perform server configuration changes based on events. For example, if a problem occurs with a device, change the monitoring request to a more frequent interval. When the problem clears, a response can be used to change the monitoring request back to a longer interval. Adaptive policy changes are activated the same as any other automated response.
