Save an audit as an audit policy

You can save an audit as an audit policy. This action saves only the rules from the audit and then creates a new audit policy. If your audit rules require the latest Agent on the target servers, the SA Client displays a message reminding you to update the Agents or create exceptions in the audit to avoid runtime errors.

All audit policies you create must be saved in the SA Library in a folder. Each audit policy name within a folder must be unique. You must have permissions to write to the folder you want to save the audit policy to. For more information on folder permissions, see the SA 10.60 Use section or contact your SA Administrator.

To save an audit to create an audit policy:

1. In the Audit or Snapshot Specification window, from the File menu, select Save As.
2. In the Save As window, enter a name. If you are renaming an audit or snapshot specification, you must use a unique name.
3. (Optional) Enter a description.
4. From the Type drop-down list, select Audit or Audit Policy.
5. If you selected Audit Policy, from the Location section, click Select.
6. Select a folder in the SA Library to save the audit policy to. You must have write permission on the folder to save the audit policy.
7. Click OK.
