For the first time, we are trying to manage the Pulseway agent using policies rather than touching every agent manually. Where are current and accurate instructions for how to do this? We have an on-premise instance running v9.5.1.
The tutorial video (under training center) feels like a nice marketing overview, but it reflects a previous version, so some details are inaccurate, and it is an overview. It doesn't provide enough information to actually create a new policy from the Web App.
The Help Center has a whole section devoted to "Policies and Agent Configurations", but I still haven't found one article that actually provides the information I need for creating my first policy and modifying the configuration.
An example:
When I go to ADMINISTRATION/Configuration/Policies and click "Create New Policy", the very first screen asks me to select a "policy type". What's this? I see no mention of it in any of the documentation I've seen so far. I chose "Device Configuration" and clicked "Next". Now I see Device Type, OS Type, and Manufacturer. Huh? But since all three sections indicate that this is a "root level" policy, there's nothing I can do here except assign the policy to some endpoints, which I don't want to do yet (that's putting the cart before the horse). So I click "Next" and I have the option of assigning a profile. I haven't made any profiles and don't even know what they are at this point, so again, there's nothing I can do at this point, so I "Save". Now I go to edit the newly created policy and I have no more options that I did the first pass through.
I then created a "Monitoring" policy, but this offers the same options as the "Device Configuration" policy. Searching the forums hasn't led me to anything helpful yet either.
Where are all the settings that I can choose to enable or disable? Why does all the documentation I'm finding appear to be out of date? If Pulseway is going to change stuff, then the documentation should be kept current to reflect the changes.
We just signed a 3-year deal for 2500 endpoints, and I am astonished at how frustrated I've become trying to setup some pretty simple and basic things. My time is WAY to valuable to have to spend hours and hours guessing and doing trial and error.
May I please get some help?
Thank you,
Stephen
