11.3 Deciding How to Create UNIX Rules and Rule Sets

UAM 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 process terminates.

  • Rules that trigger when a log file decreases in size.

  • Rules that trigger when certain commands are run by root.

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

  • Rules that trigger when certain files are changed or created.

  • Rules that trigger when anything in the system changes. For example: Login, logout, auditing.

To start the wizard, click Edit Rule Set in Rules Management screen, then click Wizard > Rule Wizard, and continue with the configuration as prompted.
