After you design the rules to correlate events, you can use the
Active Correlation Technology rule builder to write the rules.
The following steps are the primary steps in writing rules with the rule
builder.
- Open the Eclipse Workbench.
- Set your perspective in the Eclipse Workbench.
- Set your preferences for the Active Correlation Technology, or accept
the default preferences.
- Either create a project in which to store the rule set file, or use an
existing project.
- Create a rule set file, and store it in the project of your choice.
- Create at least one rule block within the rule set. Additionally, you
can create other rule blocks within the rule set, and you can create rule
blocks within rule blocks.
- Create rules within rule blocks.
- Validate the rule set.
- Compile the rule set.
- Update the rule set as necessary.
In expressions within rules, you can also include snippets from the Snippet
view in the Eclipse Workbench.
