Priority

The priority must be specified as a number between 0 (lowest
priority) and 999999 (highest priority).

The same data package may be analyzed for different events. The
ability to assign a priority to each event lets you manage which
event should be triggered if a received package matches the criteria
for several events.

When the system receives a TCP and/or UDP package, analysis of
the packet starts with analysis for the event with the highest priority.
This way, when a package matches the criteria for several events,
only the event with the highest priority is triggered. If a package
matches the criteria for several events with an identical priority, for
example two events with a priority of 999, all events with this priority
is triggered.

Check if expression matches
event string

An event string to be tested against the expression entered in the
