Viewing the rule sets listing

BMC Network Automation is shipped with factory-installed rule sets, based on industry standards, regulatory standards, and vendor recommendations, or best practices. You can customize the factory-installed rules and rule sets to create customer-specific sets. Rule sets are simply containers for the rules which are assigned to one or more groups and enabled for “Continual Compliance” checking. This topic contains the following sections:

To view the list of rule sets

1. Navigate to Network > Scripts > Rule Sets. 
   
   
   
   

2. (Optional) Perform one of the following tasks by using the menu options that are available on the Rule Sets page:

   Menu option	Description
   Views	Display rule sets matching a favorite view. See About lists and views and Managing and sharing views.
   Filter	Filter the rule sets list based on selected criteria
   Add	Add a rule set. See Adding a rule set.
   Manage Rights	Manage access rights for rule sets. See Managing rule set access rights.
   Print View	Print the rule set list
   Refresh	Refresh the list with any recent updates
   Help	Display help for rule sets

3. (Optional) Perform one of the following actions by clicking an icon in the Actions column on the Rule Sets page:

   Icon	Action	Description
   	View	Display details about the rule set
   	Edit	Edit the rule set. See Adding a rule set.
   	Copy	Copy the rule set Note: When you copy a rule set, the member rules are also copied. However, any association between a rule and a security vulnerability is not copied.
   	Delete	Delete the rule set
   	Enable	Enable the rule set1
   	Disable	Disable the rule set

1. When a rule set is enabled, compliance checking is performed by the configuration snapshot and Network > Refresh Device Status actions. You should enable the rule set only after you have created, tested, and assigned the associated rules.

To perform compliance checks for enabled rule sets as part of the configuration snapshot operation, you must turn on the Check Compliance Violations after Snapshot system parameter. Compliance violations are logged and shown on the Dashboard. Logged violations could trigger a policy to perform one or more actions (for example, send notification or remediate).
