Creating a Topic

On the

Design

tab, click the

Topics

view.

From the

Actions

menu in the top-right corner of the view, select

New

The

New Topic

dialog box appears.

Enter values for the topic details.

The following list describes the topic properties that you need to enter:

Property	Description
Name	Name of the topic. The topic name must be unique.
Description	Description of the topic. The description is optional.
Expires In	Expiration time frame for events coming into the topic. Enter the value in milliseconds. The default value is 600000. The expiration time frame is set for the events in the topic, not for the topic itself. The administrator or the creator of the topic sets this default expiration time frame. If you have the proper permissions, you can override that setting by defining another expiration time frame as long as it is shorter than the default value. You also can override this setting by defining a time frame within a rule. In this case, the value you set will have to be shorter than both the default value and the topic expiration time frames.
Responder access	Select how you want the responder to access the properties of events in the topic. You can select from the following options: Named Properties . When you use Named Properties, only those properties referenced directly by the rule are kept in memory. This is a processing optimization that reduces the amount of memory that active events consume. The system performance is better when the system assesses only named properties. All Properties . Some responses may need access to properties they do not explicitly reference. In this case, you can use the All Properties setting to keep all properties in memory regardless of whether they have been explicitly referenced.

In the

Properties

view, add the properties that you want to associate with the topic. You can add multiple properties to the topic.

You can also create properties in bulk without providing a description for the properties.

Click

Save

After saving the topic, you are granted ADMIN permissions to the topic. Only you or an administrator can modify, disable, delete, or grant other users permissions (ADMIN, READ, or WRITE) to the topic.
