Sync and analysis behavior

You can open Policy Analyzer and Optimizer from Security Cloud Control Firewall Management or cross-launch from supported On-Premises Firewall Management Center policy pages.

Follow these steps to open Policy Analyzer and Optimizer and select a data source:

Procedure

	1.	In the Security Cloud Control Firewall Management left pane, choose Administration > Integrations > Firewall Management Center.
	2.	Select Cloud-Delivered FMC or an On-Premises Firewall Management Center.
	3.	Click Policy Analyzer and Optimizer under System. Note Alternatively, choose Insights & Reports > AIOps Insights > Policy Analyzer and Optimizer.
	4.	Use the data source selector at the top of the Policy Analyzer and Optimizer page to choose the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center or On-Premises Firewall Management Center whose policies you want to review.
	5.	Choose the Access Control tab depending on the policy type that you want to analyze.

Sync and analysis behavior

Policy Analyzer and Optimizer displays policy metadata, including analysis status, last modified time, and last analyzed time. Last modified reflects changes made to the policy in the management center that manages it. Last analyzed reflects the analysis run that produced the current Policy Analyzer and Optimizer summary.

Use Sync with FMC to fetch the latest access control and NAT policy inventories and modified timestamps from the management center. Each Policy Analyzer and Optimizer tab shows the sync success or failure status for the policy type on that tab. If a policy was modified after the last analysis, the displayed analysis can be out of date until you run analysis again or a scheduled analysis runs.
