You can activate monitoring using monitoring policies in two ways:
Add the monitoring policy to a service Policies are added to services, which are then included in service plans. When you apply a service plan to a site or group, the automatic application rules in the included policies take effect. For more information on adding policies to services, see Creating Services.
Apply the monitoring policy to a group or device You can also apply a monitoring policy directly to a group or device. This method of monitoring requires a manual maintenance strategy, and automatic inclusion rules do not apply. See Using Monitoring Policies.
