Service Auto-Creation Rules Tab

The service auto-creation rules table displays the following details:

Field Name	Description
Rule Name	Displays the name of the rule.
Description	Displays the description for the service rule.
Created	Displays the date when the service rule was created.
Status	Displays the status of the service rule.  It can be one of the following: • Active– Rule is active and runs periodically to create services. • Inactive– Rule is not executed; no new services are created. • Marked for Deletion– Rule is disabled, and all associated services are deleted in batches before the rule is removed.
Creation issues	Displays any issues that occur during rule execution. The status can be one of the following: • Failed — Displays the number of services that failed during creation. • In progress — Displays services currently being created, provided no failures have occurred. Note: If a failure occurs, the Failed status takes precedence. • Renamed — Displays when a service is successfully created but has a name conflict with an existing service. In this case, the service is renamed.
Services using	Displays the number of services created using the rule.
Metrics	Displays the metrics associated with each auto-created service if defined during rule creation. If no metrics were defined, the  Add icon displays in this column. You can use this icon to add metrics to the service.
Actions	Displays quick operations to manage a rule. • Manage Rule – View the service rule definition, filters, cardinality, naming pattern, property propagation, metrics, and so on. You can also delete the rule from here. • Run Rule – The Run rule icon triggers and represents the activation state of the service rule. Activate Rule – The rule is activated. Services defined by the rule using filters and cardinality are created and continuously evaluated for any new services at scheduled interval. Make Inactive – The rule becomes inactive. Service creation stops until the rule is reactivated. Existing services remain in place and membership evaluation and aggregation keeps working as is.
