RULE Events

When an external event is posted to the REST endpoint, the IA Agent writes the received event to the topic named "events" in the Streaming Platform. The Rule Engine then reads the event topic and if a pattern is recognized a rule is triggered.

Types of Rules

There are two types of Rules that can be used to trigger an Event:

• Simple Rule
