Cloning event handlers

Cloning an event handler allows you to build a custom event handler by using an existing one as a template.

Most attributes in a predefined event handler cannot be modified, such as the name, description, and rule settings. You can, however, clone a predefined event handler to customize its settings and give it a meaningful name to show its function.

To clone an event handler:

1. Go to Incidents & Events > Handlers > Basic Handlers.

   If cloning a correlation handler, go to Incidents & Events > Handlers > Correlation Handlers.

2. Select an event handler and in the toolbar and click Clone.

   You can also right-click the event handler and select Clone.

3. Configure the cloned event handler. For a description of the fields, see Creating a custom event handler or Creating a custom correlation handler.

   Use a descriptive name so it is not confused with the event handler it was cloned from.

4. Click OK save the cloned event handler.
