Using the Rule Processor Detail Control panel

There are two ways to select an event for Rule creation: one is to select events from the BMC AMI Ops Automation Event Activity Statistics application (Option 1 from the Automation Menu). The other is to research and prepare a list of events and select Option 2, Display/Modify Rules and Rule Sets and begin creating Rules from the Automation Control panel.

The Rule Processor Detail Control panel plays a central role in Rule creation; on this panel you enter important information such as

  • Rule ID of the Rule
  • Event type
  • Initial mode of the Rule when BMC AMI Ops Automation starts
  • Whether the Rule is controlled from over-firing when events flood the system
  • Rule documentation information
