Within the Business Rule Repository, create an API rule that can be applied to multiple KPIs. This is done by cloning one of the three API rules, and setting default rule values for specific rule parameters. After the rule is applied to a KPI, you can edit its script within the CI Customizations page at any time to change the rule logic for the specific KPI.
-
Clone an API rule
Select Administration > Service Health > CI Status Calculation > Business Rules. In the Business Rule Repository page, clone one of the following rules: API Group and Sibling Rule, API Sample Rule, or API Duration-Based Sample Rule.
For details on cloning a rule, see Business Rules
-
Edit rule details
-
Open the new rule for editing.
-
In the Name field, rename the cloned rule.
-
Edit the KPI Calculation Script rule parameter. In the Default Value field, enter the rule calculation script. The code that you enter is the default code for this rule, and appears in the CI Customizations page for all KPIs assigned this rule. (Do not change any other fields.)
-
If you are creating a Sample rule or Duration-Based Sample rule, edit the Sample Fields rule parameter. The sample fields that you enter are the default sample fields for this rule, and appear in the CI Customizations page for all KPIs assigned this rule. (Do not change any other fields.)
For details on these rule parameters, see the following sections (depending on the type of rule you are creating):
The Rules API classes are documented in Javadoc format in the OMi Rules API Reference. These files are located

Add the rule to the KPI's applicable rules list
