Article Summary

Agent Global Policy

Setting values for various parameters, such as scan time and log level, individually for every Windows and Mac agent was a pain for users. To simplify this process, we have a feature titled “Agent Global Policy,” which allows users to set a single policy for all Windows and Mac agents that includes Scan Time, Log Level, HTTP Heartbeat, toggle to enable/disable roaming, and many others.

Agent Global Policy

To set the Agent Global Policy:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Asset Management > Agent Global Policy.
  2. Select the Scan Time interval.
  3. Select the values for the Log Level drop-down.
  4. Enter the values for HTTP Heartbeat Interval (in seconds).
  5. Toggle the Enable Roaming button.
  6. Toggle the Enable Services Detection button to allow/disallow agents to send services data to SAFE.
  7. Toggle the Automatic Agent Update and Automatic Content Update buttons per your business requirement.
  8. Click the Save Configuration button.
