About viewing ASM security policies
To view security policies that BIG-IQ Application Security Manager (ASM) has imported from discovered BIG-IP devices, navigate to the Policies panel. Each policy is assigned a unique identifier that it carries across the enterprise. This ensures that each policy is shown only once in the Policies panel no matter how many devices it exists in.
In the BIG-IQ ASM repository, policies are in XML format.
Displaying security policy properties
With BIG-IQ ASM, you can easily view the properties of individual
security policies.
- Navigate to the Policies panel.
- Hover in the banner for the specific policy, and click the gear icon to display the expanded panel containing properties and actions.

the policy sources on managed BIG-IP devices, you can reimport
policies to bring them back into sync.
