# Adding Rules from Tasks or Events

You can add to an alarm a new rule based on a task or event that occurred in the managed environment. For example, you can create a rule that monitors the *Create virtual machine* event and notifies you whenever a new VM is created.

To create a new rule from a task or event:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.

   For details, see [Accessing Veeam ONE Components](access.md).

2. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click the necessary view (*Veeam Backup & Replication*, *Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365*, *Virtual Infrastructure*, *VMware Cloud Director*, *Business View*).
3. In the inventory pane on the left, select the necessary object.
4. In the information pane, open the **Tasks & Events** tab.
5. Right-click a task or event about which you want to be notified, select **Add this event to the existing alarm** from the shortcut menu, and click the necessary infrastructure object type.
6. In the **Select Alarms** window, select an alarm to which the rule must be added and click **Add**.
7. In the **Alarm Settings** window, change the rule settings, and click **Save**.

   For details on working with alarm rules, see [Step 3. Specify Alarm Rules and Severity](alarm_rules.md).

8. In the **Select Alarms** window, click **Close**.
