1 Title: Restructured Event Console rules into packs
9 The Event Console now groups event rules into <i>Packs</i>. If you update
10 to the new version you will find all your existing rules to be contained in
11 the pack <i>Default rule pack</i>. The execution of the rules within a pack
12 is just as it was in the global list of rules before. But now you can have
13 several packs. The execution of the rules is done in the order of the packs
14 and within each pack in the order there. This helps you to keep on overview -
15 especially if you have a lot of rules.
17 But there are a couple of more advantages from the packs:
20 <li>You can easily reorder packs as a whole</li>
21 <li>Packs can be disabled as a whole</li>
22 <li>Event simulation can show matching rules on the level of the packs</li>
23 <li>Rules can be moved from one pack to another</li>
24 <li>A new rule option in <i>Actions and Outcome</i> can be used to
25 have a rule skip all other rules in the same pack and continue with the
27 you can for example create a pack <i>Oracle</i>. As a first rule
28 you match for <tt>(?!ORA-)</tt> and set the rule type to
29 <i>Skip this rule pack</i>. That way if a message arrives that does
30 <i>not</i> contain <tt>ORA-</tt> all of the following rules in that
31 pack will <i>not</i> by tried out. This can make your configuration
32 easier and also will speed up the Event Console since the number
33 of rule tries is being reduced.</li>
