Some of the existing policies are configurable. This means that you can clone an existing policy and create new, custom policies with your own configuration. You can also disable a policy altogether, if a policy doesn't quite match your needs.
Configure a policy#
To change the configuration of a policy, you must clone one of the existing default policies, and then save your configuration as a new policy. You can edit the display name and description of the new policy to help distinguish it from the default policy it's based on.
The available configuration parameters for a policy depends on the default policy you used as a base for your custom policy.
To configure a policy:
- Go to the Policies page in the Docker Scout Dashboard.
- Select the policy you want to configure.
- Select View policy details to open the policy side panel.
If this button is grayed out, then the selected policy doesn't have any configuration parameters.
- In the side panel, select Copy to customize to open the policy configuration page.
- Update the policy parameters.
-
Save the changes:
-
Select Save and enable to commit the changes and enable the policy for your current organization.
- Select Save policy to save the policy configuration without enabling it.
Disable a policy#
When you disable a policy, evaluation results for that policy are hidden, and no longer appear in the Docker Scout Dashboard or in the CLI. Historic evaluation results aren't deleted if you disable a policy, so if you change your mind and re-enable a policy later, results from earlier evaluations will still be available.
To disable a policy:
- Go to the Policies page in the Docker Scout Dashboard.
- Select the policy you want to disable.
- Select the Disable button.
