> #### Associating rule sets with log file monitors

> Once you have created at least one rule set, you can associate it with a log file monitor.

> To associate a rule set with an existing log file monitor:

> 1. Select Resources from the menu bar. In the list frame, expand the File category. Expand the LogFile subcategory and click the log file resource monitor to which you want to add a rule set. In the detail frame, the summary information about the log file monitor appears:

> 2. Choose one:
> - Click the link associated with the monitoring plan name you want to display.
> - Click the Edit button associated with the monitoring plan for which you want to add a rule set.
> The current monitoring plan and rules display in edit mode:

> 3. Click Select Rule Sets. The rule sets that currently exist appear:

> 4. Select the check box or check boxes associated with each rule set you want to add to the log file monitor.
> 5. Click Save. The Monitoring Plan page reappears and includes the new rule sets:

> Note the following points relative to the rule set addition:

> - All rule sets are identified by a rule set icon. The icon appears to the left of each rule set name in the rules list.
> - Rule sets appear after individual rules in the list.
> - Any edits you make to individual rules within a rule set, or to the rule set itself, immediately affect all instances of the rule sets—current and future.
> - Individual rule definitions take precedence over the same rule that is defined within a rule set.
> 6. To review the specific rules contained in any rule set, click the rule set link in the Rules selected for this plan section of the Monitoring Plan page. The Log File Rule Set page associated with the specific rule set appears, displaying each rule that it contains:

> 7. As necessary, you can perform the following actions:
> - Click Remove From Plan. The Monitoring Plan page appears. You can elect to remove any of the rule sets defined for the current plan. Any changes you make to rule sets affect only this plan's use of the rule set.
> - Click View Library Definition. A new page appears, allowing you to link to and display the detail properties that compose each rule. You can edit, copy, or delete individual rules from the library-stored definition at this time. Any changes you make will also affect the current and future uses of this rule.
> 8. When you are done adding rules and rule sets, click Done. The Log File Monitor page appears:

> 9. Repeat these steps to associate rule sets with additional monitoring plans for this log file monitor.
