Rules

Foglight for Infrastructure includes some built-in rules that monitor the health of your infrastructure environment. You can and should modify rules to better suit your environment.

To modify Foglight for Infrastructure rule threshold values and alarm template settings, refer to “Viewing, Creating, and Managing Alarm Templates” in the Foglight User Guide.

* 
NOTE: Foglight 6.0 introduces alarm templates to gather alarm rules into a domain-specific template that is easily modified and applied to targets.

Avoid editing Foglight for Infrastructure rules in the Administration > Rules & Notifications > Rule Management dashboard. Default rules may be modified during regular software updates and your edits will be lost. Always use the Alarm Templates dashboard.

In the Rules Management dashboard, all Foglight rules are displayed in the list. You can restrict the list to show only the rules installed with a cartridge. You can also search the list for a single rule or a group of rules.

To review rules:
1
In the navigation panel, under Homes, click Administration > Rules & Notifications > Rules.
The Rules dashboard opens.
2
From the Cartridge list, select Infrastructure.
The dashboard refreshes to display only the Foglight for Infrastructure rules.
3
From here, you can perform the following tasks:
•
Review a short description of the rule.
•
Associate actions with rules.
•
Create user-defined rules.
For help with these tasks, open the online help from the Rules dashboard.
