Synchronizing a Policy

There are cases when the targeted configuration of a policy, including the object group membership, can go out-of-sync with the deployed configuration residing on the agents. Here are some situations that lead to an out-of-sync status: when an object group membership is updated, but not reflected on the agents, or when a policy displays an error status. In such cases, use the Sync button to synchronize the policy configurations.

Procedure

  1. Click Governance > Governance Controls.
    A list of policies are displayed.
  2. Select a policy and click Sync Policy.
    Note: The Deployment Progress (Object Group Members) field is not displayed when you click the Sync button to synchronize the policy.

Result

The policy is now synchronized. The agent will now reflect all the changes on the policy. The status of the policy will now be shown as In Sync.
Note: If a policy displayed an error status and the error condition was fixed, then click the Sync button to bring the policy back to the Deployed status.
