Modifying an Event Rule

You can change an event rule's event, action, trigger condition and other settings, if any.

Exception: Events and actions selected in the built-in event rules are not changeable, including System Event Log Rule, System SNMP Notification Rule, System Tamper Detection Alarmed, and System Tamper Detection Unavailable.

  1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules. The Event Rule Settings dialog appears.
  2. On the Rules tab, select the event rule that you want to modify and click Edit, or simply double-click that rule.
  3. To disable the event rule, deselect the Enabled checkbox.
  4. To change the event, click the desired tab in the Event field and select a different item from the pull-down menu or submenu.

    For example, in a user activity event rule for the "admin" user, you can click the "admin" tab to display a pull‑down submenu showing all user names, and then select a different user name or all users (shown as <Any user>).

  5. If the 'Trigger condition' field is available, you may select a radio button other than the current selection to change the rule triggering condition.
  6. To change the action(s), do any of the following in the Actions field:
  7. Click OK to save the changes.

    Note: If you do not click OK before quitting the current settings page, a message appears. Then click Yes to save the changes, Discard to abort or Cancel to return to the current settings page.

  8. Click Close to quit the dialog.
