You can define a configuration rule file.

1. Navigate to Administration > Message Routing navigation menu.

4. To specify the Format Rule Definition, click the Browse button to select the saved configuration rule file.
5. Click the Upload button to upload the configuration file.
   The file is validated and the Test button gets enabled if the file is validated successfully.

   Note:

   • For SNMP protocol, the format forwarding rule feature is not supported.
   • The uploaded configuration rule file name is automatically converted into lower case.
