A rule engine process maintains a set of rules for purposes of validating a storage area network configuration. The rule engine process has access to user-defined conditions indicating whether to generate respective rule message information (e.g., advisories) when applying one or more rules in the maintained set of rules. For example, during validation of a respective storage area network configuration, the rule engine process can apply or utilize the user-defined conditions to potentially prevent generation of advisories associated with one or more applied rules. Accordingly, a user such as a storage area network administrator can customize a respective rule engine (e.g., via the user-defined conditions associated with the rules) and, based on a subsequent application of the set of rules to a storage area network configuration according to the user-defined conditions, limit generation of error messages in the event that one or more respective rules happens to fail.
