Security Center:Use the feature of asset management rules

Limits

When you create an asset management rule, you can select an existing group or tag. After the rule is created, the rule does not take effect on the servers that belong to the existing group or the servers to which the existing tag is added. The rule takes effect only on the servers that do not belong to the group and the servers to which the tag is not added. If you do not want to select an existing group or tag, you can create a group or tag before you create the asset management rule. For more information about how to create a group or tag, see Manage server groups, importance levels, and tags.

Create an asset management rule

1. Log on to the Security Center console. In the top navigation bar, select the region of the asset that you want to manage. You can select China or Outside China. In the left-side navigation pane, choose System Configuration > Feature Settings.

2. On the Multi-cloud Configuration Management tab, click the Asset Management Rule tab. Then, click Create Rule.

3. In the Asset Management Rule panel, configure parameters. The following table describes the parameters.

   Parameter	Description

Valid values: Group: If you select Group for Actions, the servers that meet a specified rule condition are added to the group that you select after you create the rule. Tag: If you select Tag for Actions, the servers that meet a specified rule condition are added with the tag that you select after you create the rule.
