Adding Actions to the Policy

Policy actions define the actions to be taken when a policy is violated. For example, you might want a message to be sent to any users when they reach a certain threshold in storage space. You can also execute the policy actions when the asset no longer violates the policy.

Policy actions define the actions to be taken when a policy is violated. For example, you might want a message to be sent to any users when they reach a certain threshold in storage space. You can also execute the policy actions when the asset no longer violates the policy.
  • Notification
    An alarm is displayed on the DSM Explorer. You can construct message texts as with Event Log.
  • Message
    A display message job is created on the agent. You can construct message texts as with Event Log.
  • Schedule Job
    A specified job is scheduled to be executed on a violating asset. The job runs the next time when the agent runs.
  • Launch Application
    A selected application is run on the engine when an asset triggers a policy.
  • Add to Group
    The asset is added to a specified domain group.
  • Generate Text File
    Text is appended to the TXT file containing the message text that the engine generated when the policy occurs. You can construct message texts as with Event Log.
  • Send Mail
    An MAPI email is sent to the specified recipients. You can construct message texts as with Event Log.
    Ensure that the mail client runs for any email policies to work.
  • Delete Asset
    The asset is removed from the system.
  • System Event Log
    Policy notification is logged in the System Event Log. You can construct a message text to appear in the policy notification. For example, $NAME$::$TYPE$ displays the specific Asset Name, and Asset Type as found in the database, in the Message Text. This text is contained in the text file of a notification, which the Engine triggers when the policy occurs.
  • Unicenter Event Log
    The policy notification is logged in the CA Event Console. You can access the event console from
    Tools
    ,
    Unicenter
    ,
    Event Console
     menu in the DSM Explorer.
    The Engine generates the log entry on the computer on which it is installed.
  • AMT Command
    The Intel AMT remote commands are run on the Intel AMT assets when the policy is violated. These commands let you control the Intel AMT assets.
  • SNMP Trap
    An SNMP Trap is triggered. You can construct message texts as with Event Log. SNMP traps are used with CA Enterprise Management enabling integration between the CA products.
    I
    nstall the SNMP functionality on the asset which is typically a Windows component. 
    Also enable the following settings for CCS event management (or CA NSM):
    • Ensure that you have enabled the
      SNMP Trap Server Activated
       option in EM Settings. Restart the computer for the setting to work properly.
    • If you are using a configuration file, ensure that you enable the event manager to use the specified file.
    • In the configuration file, ensure that you enable the
      OID
       used by
      CAITCM SNMPTRAP.EXE
       utility.
