A resource monitor policy indicates what resources are monitored and how those resources are monitored by the ULRM on a managed system.

Operations Sentinel Console provides the capability to define UNIX and Linux systems for resource monitoring, create and modify resource monitor policies, and push resource monitor policies to UNIX and Linux systems.

The resource monitoring policy is delivered to the managed UNIX or Linux system only when explicitly requested by the Operations Sentinel administrator, and upon receipt it is verified and stored on the managed UNIX or Linux system.
