Important: Before You Re-run Automatic Policy Discovery


 

Address each of the following before re-discovering policies in a workspace:

  • By default, each time you discover policies in a particular workspace, the previous set of discovered policies and clusters are overwritten based on the data included in the new discovery period. If you want to keep some policies and clusters but not others, approve those policies and clusters.

  • If you want to preserve any existing generated clusters, see Preventing Cluster Modification During Automatic Policy Discovery Reruns or Approving Clusters.

  • If you want to preserve any existing generated policies, see Approve Policies.

  • Any existing Advanced Configuration settings configured in the previous discovery run are used unless you change them.

    However, any configured default External Dependencies will be used over those of the previous run.

  • If the currently displayed version of the discovered policies is not the latest version, and you want to keep previously discovered versions, click the version displayed at the top of the page and choose the latest v* version.

    If a previous version is displayed, any versions between that version and the new discovered version will be deleted.

    For details, see View, Compare, and Manage Discovered Policy Versions.

To re-run policy discovery, see Automatically Discover Policies. After you have addressed the points in this topic, the process is the same each time you discover policies.
