Configuring Surveillance Schedules
A surveillance schedule consists of one or more surveillance groups that you want to run
on a host system during particular hours on particular days of the week. After a
surveillance schedule has been created, it can later be modified, copied or deleted.
The predefined surveillance schedules, distributed with HP-UX HIDS, are read-only.
They may be copied but not resaved or deleted. If you modify one, you can only save the
changes under a new name. They are listed in “Predefined Surveillance Schedules and
Groups” on page 81.
Creating a New Surveillance Schedule
To create a new surveillance schedule
Step 1. Go to the Schedule Manager screen.
Step 2. Create a name for the new surveillance schedule.
a. Press the New button on the Schedules panel. This opens the New Surveillance
Schedule dialog box (Figure 5-2).

the first character must be alphanumeric. Schedule names are case-sensitive. If you
include invalid characters, you will be prompted to have them replaced with
underscores.

By default, a new schedule starts with all existing surveillance groups selected.
