Create & Edit Policies

Asset policies define which files your forwarders collect and how they behave. Key facts about policies:

• Policies are stacked: the default policy is applied first, then any supplemental policies are layered on top.
• Policies are scoped to a single environment and cannot be shared across environments.

3. Select the Asset policies tab under the Environments section.
4. Select the environment where this policy should be created.
5. Click Create Policy.
6. Enter a name for the new policy.
7. Configure the policy settings:
   • Extensions -- file types the forwarder should collect.
   • Forwarder settings -- behavioral parameters for the forwarder.
   • Exclusions -- paths or patterns the forwarder should ignore.
8. Click Save.
9. Click All policies to return to the policy list.
