After you plan for event correlation, you must design the rules
to correlate the events.
To design the rules, take the following steps:
- Design the organization of the rules and rule blocks within the
rule set.
- Design the level at which different variables are to be defined,
for example, at the level of the rule set, rule block, or rule.
- Design the elements of each rule based on the rule pattern.
This step makes use of the constructs of each rule pattern that you
identified in the planning stage.
- Design the interactions among rules, especially with regard to
the forwarding of events and the skipping of rule set processing for duplicate
events.
For more details, see Event flow through a rule set.
- Design, develop, and test any Java™ methods and associated snippets that
you created to be called within expressions.
