Operations Sentinel Console provides sample DEFAULT policies for both Windows and UNIX/Linux monitored systems. The policy definitions provide a fast, easy method of getting started on a policy definition. You modify the policy using rename, copy/paste, or delete. It is recommended that you first copy and then paste the DEFAULT policy and modify the copy policy accordingly.
