Event selectors
An event selector, a required component of an event policy, provides a mechanism to select one or more events to which an event policy can apply. Rather than specifying an event on which to perform an action, such as in a rule, a selector allows the specification of a list of event selection criteria, known as an Event Condition Formula (ECF). When an incoming event meets any of the specified event selection criteria, the cell applies the event policy to the event.
The syntax for a selector class is as follows:
Selector class syntax
MC_DATA_CLASS: SELECTOR
DEFINES
{
name: STRING;
description: STRING;
based_on: STRING, default="EVENT";
ecfs: LIST_OF ECF;
};
END
DEFINES
{
name: STRING;
description: STRING;
based_on: STRING, default="EVENT";
ecfs: LIST_OF ECF;
};
END
The syntax for a selector entry is as follows:
Selector entry syntax
SELECTOR;
name=_string_value_;
description=_string_value_;
based_on=_BASE_EVENT_CLASS_NAME_;
ecfs=["EVENT_CLASS_NAME [where clause]", . . .];
END
name=_string_value_;
description=_string_value_;
based_on=_BASE_EVENT_CLASS_NAME_;
ecfs=["EVENT_CLASS_NAME [where clause]", . . .];
END
