This page describes the configuration of a policy plugin. Policy plugins are used to define the rules that Lunar uses to evaluate the health of components. Policy plugins can be imported from the Lunar configuration file, lunar-config.yml via the uses policy form.

Policy plugins can be defined either in a separate repository or in the same repository as the Lunar configuration, in a dedicated directory. Either way, the policy plugin must contain a lunar-policy.yml file in the root of the repository or directory. This file is used to configure the behavior of the policy plugin.

When using policies in the Main or Run forms, you can also install dependencies. See installing dependencies in the Bash SDK or installing dependencies in the Python SDK for more details.
