7.3 Creating and Editing Rulesets

When setting up and using the Event Manager configuration, create and define the necessary rulesets. Access the Ruleset Editor directly through the Operations Center console to create each ruleset.

For information on using the Ruleset Editor, see Section 7.4.1, Understanding the Ruleset Editor.

IMPORTANT:When logging into the Operations Center console through a Web browser, use the Java Web Start technology to launch Operations Center and the Ruleset Editor. It does not work using a Java plug‑in.

The following instructions describe the general process of creating a ruleset:
