# Monitoring configurations and policies

The engines receive their configuration when a policy is installed.

You can monitor the policies and configurations installed on the engines in the following ways:

- You can check which policy is being enforced and when it was last installed.
- You can quickly view the most recent version of the installed policy.
- You can view the configurations that were transferred in each past policy installation and compare them to each other or the current policy stored on the Management Server.
- You can view, approve and commit the changes to the configuration and policies of engines that have not been transferred yet.
