Using PATROL Configuration Manager to apply rulesets

Instead of manually configuring the monitoring of each server, you can use the PATROL Configuration Manager to apply these predefined rulesets to a server. If you need to change a ruleset, you can do so on one server, save the ruleset, and then apply the new ruleset to other like servers. 

For more information about applying rulesets, see Using-PATROL-Configuration-Manager.

Editing predefined rulesets prior to applying

With the exception of the SMS rulesets, you can apply the predefined rulesets directly to any Windows server. For the SMS rulesets, you must first perform the following minor edits and then apply the rulesets.

 To edit SMS rulesets before applying

  1. In a text editor, open the files Primary_Site_Role.cfg and Site_Role.cfg.
  2. Replace all occurrences of %SITECODE% with the uppercase 3-character SMS site code.
  3. Replace all occurrences of %WMIPATH%as follows:
    • For SMS 2.x Servers -- cimv2
      sms
    • For SMS 2003 Servers -- sms
  4. Save the files.
