What is a Knowledge Base?

A Knowledge Base (KB) defines the behavior of a cell. KB classes define what information is contained in each event. KB rules define how the events are processed. You can modify a KB to customize its behavior in your environment.

The KB is similar to a script, and the cell is the engine that runs the script.

The KB is a compiled collection of files, such as event processing rules, class definitions, and executables, organized in a directory structure. The KB files are loaded by a cell at start time. The Knowledge Base instructs the cell how to format incoming event data, process received events, and display events in a console. Although many KBs can exist within a distributed environment, each cell can be associated with only one KB at a time.
