Changing the order of rules

Enabled rules are applied in the order in which they are listed in the All Rules listing. Rules with specific criteria should precede rules with general criteria. Only one rule per rule set is triggered per event, so if the first rule is too general it may always result in a match, with subsequent rules being ignored.

About this task

To change the order of rules:

Procedure

  1. Select Manage > Rules & Actions > Rules from the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor Web Console to display the All Rules listing.
  2. To change the order of a rule, click on the Priority filed of a particular rule.
  3. In the Priority field, type the position in which to place the selected rule.
  4. Click Enter.
    Note: Be patient while the rule is moved. The Rules listing refreshes when the move is complete.

    The rules listing must be sorted in ascending priority order before the move can be accomplished.
