> ### Creating a log file monitor

> Creating a log file monitor involves:

> 1. Defining properties.
> 2. Using a bookmark.
> 3. Creating a monitoring plan.
> 4. Adding log file rules.
> 5. Adding log file rule sets.
> 6. Associating rule sets with log file monitors.
> 7. Specifying search criteria.
> 8. Creating search criteria.
> 9. Enabling the log file monitor.

> Typically, you set up one log file resource monitor at a time on a given log file. However, you can set up a variety of monitoring plans, consisting of a number of different schedules that are all defined and enabled to run at different times, for a specific log file resource. It is most beneficial to have only one active log file monitor enabled at a time for any given log file.

> Once you create a log file monitor, you can edit it, copy it as the basis for a new log file monitor, or delete it.
