Matching Tests

1. Click the Automation Rules link on the Template Details dialog to display the Automation Rules dialog.

Use this dialog to specify the tests an automation profile will be matched against during discovery and rediscovery.

1. Begin by entering a test Property to match against. Types of test properties include:

• Name
• Type
• Subtype
• Interval
• Units

1. Select a comparison Operator for that property..

The types of operators shown depend on the property selected. They can include:

• Equals
• Does Not Equals
• Contains
• Does Not Contain
• Is Empty
• Is Not Empty
• Like
• Not Like
• mathematical operators

1. Select one or more comparison values for a property.

• Many selection criteria have drop-down lists to select from.
• Use the Contains operator for substring searches.

1. Optionally enter multiple properties by clicking the green plus icon. You'll need to specify whether the subsequent property creates an AND or OR matching condition for the tests you are matching against.

1. You're ready to specify the actions that transform tests.
