Configure Rules


Rules define what a policy should do in response to a specific type of event. Each rule consists of a condition and an action. The condition is the part of an event policy that describes the type of event in the source that will trigger an action and the action is the response that the policy should take if an event that matches the condition occurs. A policy must contain at least one rule. If the policy contains multiple rules, it is important to remember that the rules are evaluated in a specific order, and that when one condition is matched, no additional rules will be evaluated.
