Duplicate rules in LV
This SolarWinds Platform topic applies only to the following products:
Hybrid Cloud Observability Essentials — Hybrid Cloud Observability Advanced
NCM — NPM — SAM — UDT — VMAN
-
Under My Custom Rules, rules can be duplicated within the same and different policies.
-
Click Duplicate. Select the location where the rule will be duplicated. Rules can only be duplicated within My Custom Rules. The current policy is selected by default.
-
Once the rule is duplicated, a toast message will display.
The name of the new rule will be Copy of (previous rule name) by default. Processing is disabled by default.
If you duplicate a rule with conditions or actions that are not available in the destination policy, the condition or action is removed. If there is an alternative (such as forwarding), it will be applied, and the port is changed to the default. New duplicated rules are automatically disabled for this reason.
Rules from any policy can be duplicated, but only a Custom policy can be used as a target. Multiple rules can only be duplicated one policy at a time.
