Disabling a policy

If the management server is currently evaluating all events against the conditions in a policy, the management server is enforcing that policy, and that policy is enabled. By default, policies are enabled when they are created.

If you don't want the management server to enforce a policy but also do not want to delete the policy configuration, you can disable the policy. The configuration for a disabled policy exists, but the management server does not enforce the policy. You can disable a policy in the Notification Policy Details view.

 To disable a policy

1. On the main tab bar, click the Notification tab
2. On the details tab bar, click the Policies tab.
3. In the Notification Policies table, click a linked policy name.
4. On the Summary details tab, in the Operations task menu, click Disable Notification Policy.
5. In the Disable Notification Policy wizard, click OK.
6. In the final panel, read the message about the results of the task and then click Close.
