Create and enable a change management rule
Change management rules notify you when a user makes network configuration changes. For example:
- Adding, changing, or deleting users in Active Directory
- Installing software on monitored computers
- Making changes to the firewall policy
You can create a general change management rule to instruct SEM to notify you when a user changes your network configuration, or you can create a more specific rule that applies to specific users, groups, or types of changes. Generally, if you can see an event in your console, you can create a rule for the event. Use your filters as a starting point for creating custom rules.

- On the toolbar, click Rules.

On the Rules toolbar, click Create new rule.
