Create a log file monitor

Creating a log file monitor involves the following tasks:

1. Define properties
2. Use a bookmark
3. Create a monitoring plan
4. Add log file rules
5. Add log file rule sets
6. Associate rule sets with log file monitors
7. Specify search criteria
8. Create search criteria
9. Enable the log file monitor

Typically, you set up one log file resource monitor at a time on a log file. However, you can set up a variety of monitoring plans, consisting of a number of different schedules that are all defined and enabled to run at different times, for a specific log file resource. It is most beneficial to have only one active log file monitor enabled at a time for any given log file.

Once you create a log file monitor, you can edit it, copy it as the basis for a new log file monitor, or delete it.
