You can also use the profile metrics to collect aggregate data on how a rule is processing incoming events. By reviewing the aggregate data you can tune a rule to perform better.

If you are not sure that the rule is getting the results you want or if you think that you are getting the expected result but the rules are not as efficient as you want them to be, use the profile metrics for better insight into the behavior of the rule.

This task is defined by your user policy and the ACL of the rule. To access the profile metrics you must have both write ACL access for the rule and user policy permission for profile rules enabled by the system administrator. The system administrator can give you the access to this tool.

You can access rule profile metrics from the

Dashboard

tab. To view rule profile metrics, select the desired event processor, and then view the

tab, choose the rule that you want to profile, and then enable tracing for that rule.
