Converting XPath rules to IBM correlation rules

Prerequisites

Create a symptom database, or Import a symptom database

Procedure

To convert XPath rules to IBM(R) correlation rules:

  1. In the Log Navigator view, select a symptom database.
  2. Right-click the symptom database and click Convert to IBM rules.
  3. Click Yes if you want the XPath rules to be preserved after the conversion to IBM correlation rules. Otherwise, click No.
Limitation: Log and Trace Analyzer only supports XPath expressions for the Common Base Event properties that are required.
For example, this XPath expression is supported:
/CommonBaseEvent[contains(@msg, 'SSL0600S')]
but this XPath expression is not supported:
/CommonBaseEvent[msgDataElement/msgId='SSL0600S' or contains(@msg,'SSL0600S')]
