About Policies
WhatsConfigured policies search through archived configuration files for strings that are
either expected or not expected within the file(s).
Policies can be added to Alert Center Task Threshold's. When a scheduled task fails a policy,
any associated notification policies alert you that the policy has failed due to unexpected
content that has been flagged in an archived config file.
