4. Configure Active Monitoring
Active Monitoring Checks are conditional parameters, run against event sources on based a
schedule. Whether the parameter conditions are being met or not, monitoring checks generate
event logs.
The generated event log can be combined with events processing rules to further analyze the
issue that generated the log, send notifications, execute scripts and perform remedial actions.
GFI EventsManager contains a few generic Active Monitoring that you can use out of the box.

5. Configure events processing rules
Events processing rules are conditional checks that are run against collected event logs. Based
on the information found in the event log (such as Log Type, Timestamp and Classification)
GFI EventsManager determines the action that has to be performed.
Create new rules from event logs generated by active monitoring checks to trigger automatic
remedial operations when a system error is detected.
Optionally, configure event sources to run System Health rules against collected event logs.
