How can I specify the action to take when a rule triggers?

The table contains a row for each rule that has been defined. A Control Action setting is available for each rule. Possible values are:

Once the the desired control actions have been specified, click on the Submit button for the changes to take effect.

Note: Control actions will only be applied to rules that trigger after the change has been made. The policy change will not effect existing controls or cause controls to be applied to hosts that have previously triggered rules.

WARNING Control actions that are implemented based on rules must be manually cancelled.
