The evolution of monitoring policies
The AppNeta by Broadcom product team has been focused on enhancing the solution’s capabilities for monitoring setup and administration. This evolution began with the introduction of Monitoring Policies, which provided a framework for setting up monitoring in a scalable, automated fashion. Following this, we added new network rules that made it simple to select and tag the networks that should be monitored. Building on the robust foundations offered by these previous features, we’re now pleased to offer Monitoring Policy Groups. These capabilities will further simplify how monitoring is set up and administered in large environments.
Introducing monitoring policy groups
Monitoring Policy Groups offer a streamlined way to manage multiple monitoring policies. With these capabilities, you can apply consistent monitoring preferences and Monitoring Point rules across a group of policies. This feature is currently in Early Access and can be enabled on customer request.
Key benefits of monitoring policy groups
- Consistent setup. Monitoring Policy Groups allow AppNeta administrators to set monitoring preferences and Monitoring Points rules at the group level. This means that instead of configuring each policy individually, administrators can apply settings across a group of policies, saving significant time and effort.
- Easier updates. With Monitoring Policy Groups, any updates made to the group settings automatically propagate to all policies within the group. This ensures that all policies remain consistent and up to date, with minimal manual intervention.
- Policy overrides. While consistency is key, flexibility remains a priority. Monitoring Policy Groups allow for overrides, enabling specific policies—or even paths—within a group to have different monitoring settings or alert profiles when necessary.
- Flexibility in policy management. As monitoring needs evolve, so too should policies. Monitoring Policy Groups provide the flexibility to move policies in and out of groups easily, so administrators can adapt to changing monitoring needs without extensive reconfiguration.
Policy group example
The following policy group example creates three policies.
Seamless migration
If you used the existing capability to assign Monitoring Policies to groups, those will be retained as Monitoring Policy Groups. If the existing groups have different Monitoring Point Rules, they will be split into new Monitoring Policy Groups, each with the same Monitoring Point Rules.
The road ahead
Monitoring Policies will soon support web monitoring in addition to network monitoring. Web monitoring policies provide a simple, scalable, and automated way to set up monitoring for your web applications (Experience). If you would like to participate in early access to this feature, please contact your Broadcom account representative.
