8.3 Deciding How to Create UNIX Rules and Rule Sets

UNIX Agent Manager provides both wizard-driven rule creation and the ability to create custom rules not covered by the wizard.

Use the wizard if you want to monitor one or more of the following:

  • Rules that trigger when a certain daemon terminates

  • Rules that trigger when a log file decreases in size

  • Rules that trigger when certain commands are run

  • Rules that trigger when certain commands are run by users other than root

  • Rules that trigger when certain files are changed or created

To start the wizard, click the Edit Rule Set button on the left area of the Rules Manager screen, then click Wizard > Rules Wizard.
