After the Database Vault policies are defined, further changes to it is tracked by this metric. On any changes to the Database Vault policies, this metric will raise an alert. This metric is enabled out of the box. By default this metric is collected every 1 hour, but the user can set his own collection frequency.
The rest of the information in this section is only valid for this metric when it appears in either the Enterprise Manager Grid Control or the Enterprise Manager Database Control (if applicable).
The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.

For this metric you can set different warning and critical threshold values for each unique combination of "DV Policy Change Category" and "DV Policy Change Time" objects.
If warning or critical threshold values are currently set for any unique combination of "DV Policy Change Category" and "DV Policy Change Time" objects, those thresholds can be viewed on the Metric Detail page for this metric.
To specify or change warning or critical threshold values for each unique combination of "DV Policy Change Category" and "DV Policy Change Time" objects, use the Edit Thresholds page. See Editing Thresholds for information on accessing the Edit Thresholds page.
The policy changes are picked up from scanning the records in the Database Audit Trail related to Database Vault Schemas.
To know more about the policy changes, for example which object was changed, which database user changed the policy, what was the user action, and at what time this policy was changed, login to the target's Database Vault Home Page and view the Policy Changes Report.
