Forgot to add one thing : try to create the management-rule in the CLI mode instead of GUI ( i am debugging this) as follows:
<INSTALL_ROOT>/bin/asadmin create-management-rule --eventtype cluster --host localhost --port 4848 --action ClusterMonitor --eventloglevel SEVERE --eventproperties name=stop:servername=* StopClusterRule
