Policy events

Policy events indicate that a configuration policy has failed against a device, or that a previous configuration policy failure has now been cleared.

Netcool Configuration Manager provides facilities for policy checks to be carried out against a device or set of devices. The execution mechanism for applying a compliance policy or set of policies against a device or set of devices is known as a process.

Policy events can be identified using the Agent field, which has the value Policy trap for policy events. Policy events are categorized by event ID, as described in the following table. Use this information to determine whether further action is necessary. The EventId field does not display by default in the Active Event List. Your system administrator can add the EventId field to the columns displayed in the Active Event List.
