Recording Rules Page - How it Works
The Recording Rules page can be thought of as a chalk board where you create a
graphical model of the events and actions. In essence,
you are creating a visual representation of the rules that
the analyzer should follow during a recording.
You can create simple or complex rules.
Creating a rule involves three steps:
Step 1 Select one or more events.
Step 2 Select the channels that the analyzer
should record.
Step 3 Assign an actions to the events.
Selecting
Events
Events are selected from the New Event menu:
Step 1 Click the New Event button.
A menu of Events and Event categories displays.
Step 2 Select an Event from the menu. Once a selection
has been made, an Event button appears in the
Available Events area. The Available Events area is an inactive part of
the window where buttons can be parked for future use.
Selecting a
Channel on
an Event
Button
At the bottom of each event button are small buttons that represent analyzer channels.
Selecting a channel button tells the analyzer which channels to monitor for trigger and
filter events.
Note that deselecting a channel button does not stop the recording on that channel - it
merely disables actions such as triggers on the channel. Thus, if you had set the
analyzer to trigger on an error but had deselected channel T1, the analyzer would record
traffic on all channels (including T1) but would ignore any error that occurred on channel
T1.
To turn off recording for individual channels, use Inhibit Recording option in the Recording
Options > Channel Settings page. This option will prevent traffic from being recorded into
the trace.
