Abstract
Processes and techniques for tailoring operations management in a system are described. The processes and techniques allow a user to customize operations management based on the user's function within a system and the particular tasks that the user wishes to accomplish. Simplified user interfaces can be created by scoping the interfaces based on user profiles, preferences and system components.

- and
- presenting information to the user based on the set of permissions associated with the role of the user with respect to the management system, the presented information comprising information related to a system that comprises one or more hardware components, software components or a combination of the hardware components and the software components.
A method of generating a monitor comprising:
- under one or more processors configured with executable instructions:
- prompting a user to select a rules template from a selection of one or more rules templates an information management environment, the information management environment comprising one or more hardware components, software components, or both hardware and software components;
