Events View

All the events generated using RulePoint are saved in the database. You can choose to view all the generated events or search for specific events. You can also choose to view the events as they enter into the system. The events view helps you understand the type of events that enter into the system. A review of the events will help you quickly identify patterns in data so that you can build effective rules.

You can view the following features in the

Events

view:

Event Search

. To search for events generated for a topic and to view details of the event, you can perform one of the following tasks:

Provide the data to search so that the search result displays all the events that contain that data.

Select a topic from the

Select Topics

menu and search for an event with the specified data in the search.

You can provide any text to search or you could provide the key-value pairs in the search field. The key is the column name and the value is the data in the column. For example, type the column name = value to search for specific events. You can use multiple key-value pairs, separated by AND, OR, or NOT. The search text supports wildcard characters, such as ? and *. The search text must not start with the NOT condition.
