[MicroFocus] Efficient Policy Management in Operations Bridge Manager

Problem Statement

We use Policy Templates in Operations Bridge Manager (OBM) to define the details of specific configuration and monitoring tasks. The policy templates once developed, will be deployed to computers that run Operations Agent.
In medium or large environments in case if there are 1000’s of policy templates then is there anyway to get policy template configuration details like polling interval, thresholds configured, severity etc.. in a single sheet?

Is there a quick way to give the stats like below?

• Top 10 most deployed policies [ Group by policy version ]
• Top 10 servers having most number of policies
• Server and count of policies disabled
• List of server having same polling interval in multiple policies

In general, is there any report available which gives what measurement is being monitored through which policy on each Operations Agent?

Solution Overview:

Execution Flow: MS Excel Report

Execution Flow: Loading data to SQLite db
