This chapter provides detailed information about the topic “Applications: Rules Tab” on page 57.
Applications: Rules Tab
Rules are implemented by plug-ins (there are no user-defined rules). Configure rule actions to trigger the rule
that performs specific tasks. Rules have two trigger properties:
Timed – They must evaluate as true continuously for the specified duration to trigger.
Latched – They trigger as soon as they evaluate to true.
Rules
The Applications: Rules page provides a list of rules with their current status and two ways to edit and check
rules.
Checking a Rule Condition
vCenter Server Heartbeat allows you to check the rule conditions of the current configuration against the
attributes of the system or application.
To check a rule condition
Right-click on the rule and select Check Now from the menu or click Check Now at the top of the pane. The
rule condition is displayed in the pane.
Edit a Rule
Rules are implemented by plug-ins and cannot be created by users. Each plug-in contains a default set of rules
with options that may be modified by the user.
To edit a rule
1 Right-click on the rule and select Edit from the menu or click Edit at the top of the pane.
2 Edit the parameters of the rule and click OK.

The following plug-ins implement the rules listed.
