Event Field

For more information about the event fields, see Managing event structure and log schema.

Condition

Depending on the event field, you can select one of the following conditions from the drop-down list box:

  • Matches: Event field matches the designated value.
  • Is less: Event field is less than the designated value.
  • Is more: Event field is more than the designated value.
  • Is between: Event field is between the two designated values.
  • Contains: Event field contains the designated value.
  • Has RegEx Match: Data in the event field matches the pattern in the designated regular expression query. For more information on regular expressions, see Using regular expressions in a notification rule.

Value

Value for the designated event field.

The Venafi Log server applies the value to the designated event field under the defined conditions. If an event matches the criteria, it is sent to the designated notification channel.

Operators

To narrow the selection results, you can define values for multiple event fields. Using standard AND, NOT, and OR operators.

The conditions are cumulative; that is, the Log server applies the first condition, then the second, then the third, etc., to progressively narrow the results.

Target Channels

Channel objects the Venafi Log server uses to provide event responses or log the events. You can select multiple notification channels for any given Notification Rule object.

Add

Adds new Channel objects for event notification.

Remove

Removes selected Channel objects from the notification rule.

permissions

On the object permissions tab, you select the users or groups you want to have permissions to the current object, then you select which permissions you want the users or groups to have.

You can also manage object permissions via parent objects, including the Notification Rules folder.If you configure Permissions in a parent object, those permissions are inherited by all subordinate objects.
