Editing a Trigger Rule on the Triggers Tab

You will note that when a rule appears for the first time, three new panels open on the Triggers tab. These panels contain the same information you entered for the rule when following the Adding a New Trigger Rule using the Add Wizard. You can use these panels to edit an existing rule directly on the Trigger tab. These panel appear as soon as you select trigger rule under the Trigger Rules panel.

To edit a trigger rule directly on the Triggers tab
  1. Click on the trigger rule you want to edit.
  2. In Trigger Condition (Figure 3-8), set the properties that define when the rule will be triggered; for example, the threshold at which the rule is invoked and for how long the triggering condition should be sustained before invoking the rule. Table 3-1 describes the fields on this panel.

  4. In Trigger Action (Figure 3-9), set the type of action you want your rule to perform when your rule is triggered. You have a choice of these options:
    • Send an alert to the application
    • Send a warning is sent to standard output.
    • Send an e-mail to a specific recipient
    • Start a JRA recording
    • Create a thread stackdump

      Depending on the action you select, you might have to enter additional data, as described on Table 3-2.

  5. In Trigger Constraints (Figure 3-10), set any constraints you want on the rule. This is an optional step that allows you to limit when a trigger action is activated; for example, you might want your trigger action to be activated only every other day of the week or during specific hours of the day.

    You can select from these options:

    • Date span sets a range of dates.
    • Day of week sets which days of the week you want the trigger action to be activated. If you select this option, you will also need to specify which day(s) you want it to be activated.
    • Time span sets the time period.
