Policies

Policies is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing and removing the policies used by the CAPE Engine. CAPE policies are used to perform special processing based on information from within the Unified Assurance Event database, however, nodes are not limited to Unified Assurance information only.

Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/event/policies.

To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Events, then CAPE, and then Policies.

Form Fields

• Name - The name of the CAPE Policy.

• Description - The description of the CAPE Policy.

• Zone - The zone set for the policy, which can be used for cluster load balancing or grouping of policies to be run by CAPE applications.

• Event Grouping - Whether to process the returned data one row at a time, or all of the returned data at one time.

• Poll Interval (seconds) - How often to run the policy. To prevent errors, set this to a number greater than the amount of time the policy processing will take. For example, polling every 30 seconds when the process takes more than 30 seconds will result in errors. It is better to set a higher interval and adjust it after testing.

• First Node Executed - The first CAPE Node that receives the data.

• State - The status of the CAPE Policy.

• Event Select Statement - MySQL-based query that is run against the database.
