Create a Rule Group

Rule groups contain rules for events, alerts, and performance. Use rule groups to categorize rules for the various system applications that you want to monitor, such as Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) agents.

You can also create child groups, which are rule groups that are contained within a rule group.

Create rule groups by using the MOM Administrator console.
