| ## How does it work? | ||
| - Online hosts report policy status on a configurable cadence, with hourly default. | ||
| - Fleet will resend the configuration profile on the first policy failure or if a policy goes from "Pass" to "Fail". By default, policies that remain failing for a host in consecutive reports will not trigger a resend. | ||
| - To resend the profile on every failing result, including consecutive failures, set `continuous_automations_enabled` to `true` on the policy (_Available in Fleet Premium_). Because this can retry a resend that doesn't resolve the policy, it may cause a retry loop. |
