> #### Creating a database rule set

> When associating rules sets with database resources, you can use the default rule set provided by Fathom or create your own.

> To create a database rule set:

> 1. From the Fathom Management console menu bar, click Library. The Fathom Component Library page appears.
> 2. Click Create Database Rule Set. The Create Database Rule Set page appears.
> 3. In the Name field, enter the name of the rule set (no spaces allowed).
> 4. In the Description field, enter a brief description of the rule set.
> 5. Click Save. The Database Rule Set page appears. The rule set now appears in the list frame under Rule Sets Database.
> 6. Click Add Rule to select the rules you want in the set. The steps for adding rules to a set are the same for adding rules to a monitoring plan. See the "Modifying database monitoring plans" section for information on adding rules.

> Note the following about rule sets:

> - Once you create a rule set, you can edit, copy, or delete it.
> - If you add a rule or a rule set to an existing rule set, the change affects all databases using the rule set.
