Setting signature tunables

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In the Management Server console, some policy check signatures may have tunable parameters, which are default settings that you can modify. You can modify tunables after you register a signature for use in policy check scans. The Tunable Defaults column on the Registered Signatures tab shows the default tunable settings if a signature has any associated tunables.
You can set signature tunables at the Organization level or at the host or cluster level. If you set tunables for a host or cluster and then later set them for the Organization, the most recent settings take precedence.
To perform this task on the Server perspective, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization. To perform this task on the Availability perspective, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the cluster or the Availability perspective. The permission on the cluster may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To set signature tunables
  1. In the Management Server console, choose from the following:
    Server perspective Select an Organization or a host
    Availability perspective Select an Organization or a cluster
  2. Click the Registered Signatures tab.
  3. Right-click the row for a signature that has tunables that you want to modify and click Set Tunables.
  4. In the Set Policy Signature Tunables panel, enter the new tunable values and click OK.
  5. In the Result panel, verify that the operation was successful.
