PX, after the tenth snapshot is taken and stored, the oldest
snapshots are overwritten.

remote server to store the snapshots. See

specify the amount of time between each snapshot being taken.

Creating Rules
After required actions are available, you can create event rules to
determine what actions are taken to respond to specific events.
By default, the PX provides the following built-in event rules:

System Event Log Rule

System SNMP Notification Rule

System Tamper Detection Alarmed

System Tamper Detection Unavailable
If the built-in rules do not satisfy your needs, create new ones.
To create event rules:
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules. The Event Rule Settings
dialog appears.
