Adding a New Rule from a Task or Event

You can create a new alarm rule from a task or event that has already occurred in your environment. For example, you can create a rule that monitors the event ‘Create virtual machine’ and notifies you whenever a new VM is created.

To create a new rule from a task or event:

1. At the bottom of the inventory pane, click a necessary view — Infrastructure View, Business View or Data Protection View.
2. In the inventory pane on the left, select the necessary object.
3. In the information pane, open the Tasks & Events tab.
4. Right-click a task or event about which you want to be notified. In the shortcut menu, select Add this even to the existing alarm and choose the necessary infrastructure object type.

5. In the Select Alarms window, choose an alarm to which the rule must be added and click Add rule.
6. In the Alarm Settings window, change alarm settings if necessary, and click Save.

For details on working with alarm rules, see Step 3. Specify Alarm Rule(s) and Severity.

7. Click Close.
