Managing Rules and automation using the Automation Control panel
After you have created Rules and Rule Sets, you can use option 2, Display / Modify Rules and Rule Sets, from the Automation Menu to display the Automation Control Menu.
What the Automation Control panel is
The Automation Control panel, shown in the following figure, has four areas that provide:
- An overview of automation status and strategy (top area)
- An overview of the automation statistics (middle area)
- A scrollable list of Rule Sets in the Automation library (bottom portion), indicating
- Whether a Rule Set is enabled or disabled
- Number of Rules in the Rule Set
- Number of times BMC AMI Ops Automation has fired Rules in a Rule Set
- How many events were filtered through a Rule Set
- Whether Rule Set filtering is enabled or disabled
- Date and time of the firings
- What automation strategy a Rule Set has been assigned
A scrollable list of Rule Sets in the Automation library, including the Rule Set description and the version of BMC AMI OpsA that last saved the Rule Set
Display this portion of the panel by using the EXPAND primary command.

This panel is scrollable; use the PF7/UP and PF8/DOWN keys to scroll through the list of Rule Sets.
Use the Automation Control panel to:
- Set your Automation Strategy
- See the Automation Strategy
Manage groups of Rules, called Rule Sets, to provide simpler management of your basic automation
This function includes using Rule Set filtering that allows you to limit the number of events and the types of events that are passed through a Rule Set. For more information about using Rule Set filtering, refer to Filtering-events-for-Rule-Sets.
- See the Rule Set description and the version of BMC AMI OpsA that last saved the Rule Set (seen by issuing the EXPAND primary command, as indicated in the following figure).
