Editing a Rule in LEM for Monitoring a Particular OU


SolarWinds support assisted me with creating a rule which monitors a particular OU.  However, I would like to modify the rule.  When I attempt to do this, I have no options to choose another OU.  Not too sure how to do this.

  • Okay, this is a little vague, so a screenshot of the rule you're editing would help.

    However, I'm seeing two possibilities:

    1. You have a rule that is using a constant text value for the OU
    2. You have a rule that's using a Directory Service Group for the OU

    If it's the former, I'm betting you'd have just edited the text.  If it's the latter, you need to go to Build --> Groups and add a new Directory Service Group.  This will pull in SECURITY GROUPS ONLY, though an OU can also be a Security Group.  Once it's added, you'll be able to see it in the Rules editor under the "Directory Service Groups" drawer.
