If you have already an XML file with your rules, then all you need to do is add the path (relative or absolute) to that file in the rules configuration key. However, the path MUST include the keyword XML in it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<-- <
Declare as many rule elements as you want, order is important
Remember that the securelist can contain a list of regular
expressions if you want
ex: All events in the user handler
user\..*
ex: All events
.*
ex: All events that start with admin
^admin
If you are not using regular expressions, just write the text
that can be found in an event.
