Rule writing overview

Before writing rules to correlate events, you must understand and plan for event correlation and design the rules. You can use the Active Correlation Technology rule builder to write the rules and compile the rule set.

The Active Correlation Technology rule builder is a GUI for writing rules. It includes online help. In the rule builder, the resulting rule set file is an XML file with a file type of actl.

The Active Correlation Technology does not provide a change management or version control system.
