Syntax for Resource Definitions
Question Mark (?)
The question mark (?) indicates that the preceding character is an optional
character. For example, xy?z matches either xyz or xz.
Caret (^)
A caret (^) at the beginning of a regular expression matches the string at the
beginning of a line.
Dollar Sign ($)
A dollar sign ($) at the end of a regular expression matches the string at the
end of a line.
Using Multiple Regular Expressions
You can use several regular expressions together to match multiple strings.
For example, to search for purchase order numbers (occurring at the
beginning of a line) that begin with the letters PO and end in one or more
numbers, specify ^PO[0-9]+.
Parameter Substitutions
To monitor a class of applications using generic rule sets, you can specify
placeholders for user-specified parameter values in a rule set. You can later
use a function of the eHealth Web interface to specify the parameter values
(for example, application executable names and URLs to monitor). You can use
parameter substitutions in resource definitions and transaction definitions.
Syntax
Dollar Sign ($) - A dollar sign ($) indicates that Application Response should
expect a string value from the user.
Percent Sign (%) - A percent sign (%) indicates that Application Response
should expect a numeric value from the user.
Text (Text) - Text enclosed in parentheses immediately following a dollar sign
or percent sign is the text that eHealth displays to prompt the user for
parameter values on the Application Properties page of the eHealth Web
interface..
