Edit Rule (Monitoring)

The rule editing page is accessed from Rule Management | Monitoring. To edit a specific rule, click the rule name and the rule editing page will open.

This page is used to edit the conditions which generate an event (as displayed in Monitor | Events).

The following image is an example of a rule, rule layout and parameters differ from rule to rule.

Rule Details

The rule editing page lists all the relevant information for the selected event. The initial event settings are based on the system defaults.

Name - A descriptive name for the event and the event's status (Moderate or Critical).
Description - A generic description of what triggers the event.

Step 1: Event Condition

Event Type - The type of event this rule generates. For a list of event types, see Event Types.
Event Condition - The parameter value, or the exact function that triggers the event. (Functions may include Wildcards to specify a range instead of one function.)

Step 2: Event Action

Event Action - As soon as an event of this type is generated, trigger one of the following actions:

Save Code Tracing - Each time this event is triggered, create a trace file for the Event information. This option is dependent on the Code Tracing settings in Server Setup | Monitorand will only run if Code Tracing is set to "Active". If it is set to "Standby" you need to also set the rule to include the "Awaken tracing functionality if currently in Standby mode" option. You can set a duration for the Code Tracing component to be "awake" - this will revert the code tracing component to its former status after the duration specified this option.
Send email to: send an email to a specified recipient/s. If you disable the email sending setting (in Rule Management | Monitoring by selecting the rule and changing the status), when the setting is reactivated all the email addresses will be lost and the email setting will be set to the default email address.

Save Code Tracing Options

Save Code Tracing: This action will save code trace data when an event of the proper type is generated by Zend Server’s monitoring capabilities. Note that tracing must be set to “active” mode.
Awaken Tracing Functionality: This action enables code tracing for a specific timeframe (only relevant when code tracing is set to “standby” mode). During this timeframe, code tracing for monitoring is active and trace data is available to be saved according to regular tracing rules and conditions. At the end of the timeframe, code tracing for events will automatically revert to standby mode.

Note:

When code tracing for monitoring is set to “inactive” mode, code tracing will ignore any save trace request coming from generated events.
