# Monitoring Policies

The [monitoring policy](https://pandorafms.com/manual/en/documentation/pandorafms/complex_environments_and_optimization/02_policy) system proposed in Pandora FMS allows the management of large environments **through the propagation of different tool elements in a centralized and homogeneous way within the same installation.**

This functionality is designed for environments where you want to monitor a series of devices using the same modules, alerts, and other features.

<p class="callout success">Thanks to policies, we can avoid having to manually set up each individual monitoring task and instead execute the entire process on a **large scale** by quickly applying a policy.</p>

Some of the operations that a policy can perform are:

<div id="bkmrk-crear%2Feliminar%2Fdupli"><div>- Create/Delete/Duplicate a policy.
- Add/Remove one or more agents to a policy.
- Create/Edit/Delete a module within a policy.
- Create/Edit/Delete an alert within a policy.

Scenario: a complex environment where we have groupings of devices depending on their role (servers, *routers…*); within this environment, you want to perform certain specific monitoring tasks for each group of devices as well as some global monitoring tasks. **By applying monitoring policies**, we can manage monitoring homogeneously, being able to introduce modules simultaneously without having to create them manually on each of the different devices.
