## About
Add a policy to your Jetstream application for managing a device's configuration values (the configuration parameters are defined by the device’s definition). A policy may be added to a device to apply its configuration settings. If an assigned device's parameters do not match the policy, a [LogEntryEvent](docId:29y5YUYiF83JhS1F2y-R0) (PolicyException) is published.
## Parameters
| **Property** | **Location** | **Details** |

| **DeviceDefinition**
:::BlockQuote
string
Required
::: | Body | The name of the device definition associated with the policy.
This value is one of the device definitions retrieved by the [Get All Device Definitions](docId\:XnMyd7X5iixvo71OFVqoz) request.
This value has a max length of 128 ASCII characters.

Required
::: | Body | The parameters and values associated with the policy.
All parameters defined in the associated device definition must be defined.
All values defined must be of the type (e.g., int, bool, string, float, datetime) defined in the associated device definition.
Once a [policy is added to a device](docId\:U-YIhQPcNLvud3UaG439E), if a device's parameters do not match the policy, a [LogEntryEvent](docId:29y5YUYiF83JhS1F2y-R0) (PolicyException) is published. |
