The Insight Management tab contains three View buttons in the tab menu bar that let you view, create, and delete Insight Policies, Insight Profiles, and Tags. For a more information about these options, see Insight Management.
To access this tab from the Home tab, select Discover > Insight Management.
The Policies view lets you can add or delete Insight Policies. An Insight Policy provides the ability to respond to content and activities that could result in compliance, data security, and data availability issues.

For each Insight Policy, the Policy View shows:
Content | Description | |
---|---|---|
Policy Type Icon | Icon that represents whether this is a Content or Behavior Insight Policy. | |
Name | Name assigned to the Insight Policy. | |
Description | Description of the Insight Policy. | |
Targets |
Whether the Insight Policy applies to all VMs in inventory (Global) or to specific targets. If the policy applies to specific targets, you can hover over the link to view the list of VMs associated with this policy. |
|
Actions | Icons showing the actions that will be taken if the Insight Policy is triggered. You can hover over any icon to see details about the action. | |
Status | Indicates if the Insight Policy is enabled or disabled. |
