8.6 Understanding Rule Groups

Rule groups contain one or more rules sharing common event sources, schedules, and other properties. Clicking a rule group in the tree area displays the group properties in the content area. Rule group properties consist of the following information:

  • Delay

  • Event source name

  • Event source parameters for the rules contained in the rule group

  • Name and description of the rule group

  • Nice value or process priority

Increasing the allowable delay and nice value lowers the impact on the resources of the agent computer.

To create a new rule group, right-click Rule Set in the Edit Rules window.
