Edit a Group Rule

Group rules add managed items automatically to custom groups as items are discovered during monitoring. Once you have created rules, you can edit them. When you edit a rule, you can modify or delete filters or add subrules.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the required administrative role rights.
2. Navigate to the Manage Groups page.

   The page displays current groups in a tree structure.

3. Expand the All Groups node in the Groups tree.
4. Select the group with the rule that you want to modify.
5. Click the Rules tab.
6. Use the mouse to hover over the rule.

   Options to [edit] or [delete] the rule appear as links.

7. Click the [edit] link.

   The Edit Rule window appears.

8. Make the desired changes to existing filters, add filters or subrules, or remove filters or subrules as needed.

   A [delete] link appears next to each filter so that you can delete it.

9. Click Ok.
10. Click Preview Results to confirm that the modified rule adds the appropriate items the group. If necessary, edit the rule again.
11. When you have finished editing rules, click one of the following options:
    • Save - Saves the rules without running them. The group is populated during the next global synchronization. Global synchronization occurs approximately every 5 minutes.
    • Save and Run Rules - Saves the rules and populates the group immediately.
