Import a Suppression or Summarization Rule

You can import a suppression or summarization rule, allowing you to move rules from one environment to another. For example you could import rules created in a test environment to your live environment.

To import a suppression or summarization rule

1. Click the Administration tab, and then click the Log Collection subtab.

   The Log Collection folder list appears.

2. Click the arrow beside the Event Refinement Library folder to expand it, and then select the Suppression and Summarization Rules folder.

   The Import Suppression and Summarization Rule and Export Suppression or Summarization Rule buttons appear in the details pane.

3. Click Import Suppression or Summarization Rule.

   The import file dialog appears.

4. Browse to find the file you want to import, and click OK.

   The Suppression or Summarization Wizard appears, displaying the details of the rule you selected.

5. Make any changes you want, and click Save and Close. If the imported rule shares a name with a rule already in your management database, you are prompted to change the name.

   The imported rule appears in the appropriate suppression or summarization folder.
