Copying a Syslog template
The Copy feature for Syslog templates lets you create a new rule by making a copy of an existing system
or user defined template and making whatever modifications are necessary to the copy. This feature lets
you make changes to a system-defined template, as IMC does not allow modifications to system-defined
templates.
To copy a system or user defined Syslog template:
1. Navigate to Syslog Template.
a. Click the Alarm tab from the tabular navigation system on the top.
b. Click Syslog Management on the navigation tree on the left.
c. Click Syslog Template under Syslog Management from the navigation tree on the left.
2. Click the Copy icon associated with the system or user defined Syslog template you want to
copy.
3. Delete the existing name and enter a new name for the rule in the Name field of the Copy Syslog
Template page.
4. Modify any of the Syslog Template settings as needed.
For more information about modifying a Syslog template, see "

Using Syslog to alarm rules
IMC uses system and user defined rules to determine which of the Syslog events received by IMC should
be considered alarms. IMC includes system defined rules that, upon installation, generate alarms based
on Syslog entries received by IMC.
You can also create user defined rules that generates alarms based on Syslog events received by IMC.
You can create these from scratch or you can copy an existing system defined rule and modify it to meet
your needs. You also have the ability to enable and disable system and user defined rules. The following
section explores the use of Syslog to alarm rules.
