A log file rule set is composed of one or more rule definitions. The purpose of a rule set is to help you manage a large number of log file monitors consistently and efficiently by sharing rule definitions. By creating and selecting appropriate log file rule sets to be added to log file resource monitors, you eliminate the requirement to add log file rules on an individual basis to each log file monitor.
Once a rule set exists, you can access it from the list frame and then associate it with the monitoring plan of a log file monitor. Then, when the monitoring plan is active and the log file monitor is polled, OpenEdge Management can evaluate each rule in the set. Keep in mind that a log file monitor's monitoring plan can have one or more rule sets associated with the plan.
