Apply Correlation Rules and Incident Notifications

You must apply correlation rules in order for them to take effect in your environment. When you apply correlation rules, you can also associate notification destinations for each rule.

To apply correlation rules and set notification destinations

1. Click Adminstration, then the Services subtab, and expand the Correlation Service node.
2. Select the CA Enterprise Log Manager server on which you want to apply correlation rules.

   Correlation Server details appear in the right pane.

3. Click Add.

   A rule and version dialog appears.

4. Select the check box beside rule category or rule you want to apply. You can select entire category folders, individual rules, or any combination.
5. Select the rule version you want for each rule you select to apply.
6. (Optional) Select a notification destination for any rule you have selected to apply. If you do not select a destination, the rule will have no automatic notification. You can still manually set a notification for incidents generated by any rule.
7. Select collection servers to route events for correlation from the available list of servers. You must select all the servers you want to send events for correlation. If no servers are selected, no events will be forwarded for correlation.
8. Click OK, or Apply.
