The Agent Manager Console does not automatically refresh its panes and windows. Refresh the display by clicking the Refresh icon on the console tool bar or by restarting the Agent Manager Console. The following sections provide an overview of the Agent Manager Console windows and how to use them to customize Agent Manager.

2.2.1 Data Collection Policy Window

Data collection policies organize related data collection rules, such as all the rules to monitor a specific application.

Data collection rules define how Sentinel monitors your enterprise. For more information about data collection rules, see Section 4.0, Managing and Analyzing Logs.

When you create a data collection policy, Agent Manager automatically creates the subgroup Data Collection Rules.

You can search data collection policies for a specific data collection rule or for rules that match specified search criteria. When you perform a search, the right pane displays the rules that match the search criteria.

2.2.2 Search Results Window

You can search data collection policies based on keywords or wildcard characters. The Search Results window displays any data collection rules that match your search criteria. You may want to search for data collection rules to find all rules related to one topic or to locate data collection rules you want to customize. For more information about using the search feature, see Finding a Data Collection Rule.
