ConfigFile policy type

ConfigFile policies are used by HP Operations Smart Plug-ins (SPIs) to enhance the management capabilities for specific enterprise applications like SAP and Microsoft Exchange. These applications may require advanced monitoring and management capabilities that are not available through the standard set of HPOM policy types.

Therefore many SPIs include complex instrumentation that must be configured after deployment to nodes. ConfigFile policies perform this configuration task. They consist of configuration files that contain a set of rules or instructions for the SPI instrumentation. You can deploy ConfigFile policies like all other policy types.

NOTE:
ConfigFile policies for DCE agents cannot be enabled and disabled. This is only possible for HTTPS agents.
