Policy builder apply scheduler 11.6

Hello,

 

I was looking for answer, but could find one. I would like to use policy builder in my client enviroment. Problem is that we have ramcache and they are highly focused on performance. As you probably know applying policy automatically invalidates all ramcache entries, so it's possible to do this only during service window (ex. 4 am). So my question states, is there any option to schedule auto apply of policy builder?

 

Regards, Piotr Bratkowski

  • You can't really schedule auto policy builder. In addition, any time it's unlikely to impact service, it's also unlikely to learn your traffic. Automatic Policy Builder inspects the traffic going to the site to determine what is and is not valid traffic. If you run it when there is minimal to no traffic to the site, you will also generate very few policy rules.

     

    If you wish to use Ramcache with ASM you will need to build your policy manually. Be aware that anything that introduces instability into your ASM environment will deactivate Ramcache, not just runnning Automatic Policy Builder.

     

  • Hello,

     

    I think I didn't state it clearly. I have environment with a lot of traffic and I want use policy builder on this traffic. The core of this problem is not directly connected to Policy Builder, because if you apply policy manually it also clears Ramcache. Maybe it's idea for feature request to have ability to apply changes to policy automatically on some specific time which would be useful for both manual and automatic policy building?
