Use Breakpoints When Testing Rules
To test defined rules against events
1. If you have not already done so, open the event log file and display the
rule set to test.
2. In BT Studio, select Tools, Start or click Start. At any time, you can click
Pause to temporarily pause the testing (and click Start to restart it), or
click Stop to stop testing.
3. BT Studio analyzes all events in the event log file and attempts to
recognize transactions as defined by the rule set. It displays the results on
the Transactions tab of the results pane.
4. To locate the starting event of a transaction listed in the results pane,
double-click that transaction.
5. In the events pane, BT Studio jumps to the starting event for that
transaction. Scroll down the events pane to find intermediate events and
the ending event. Use this feature to ensure that the rule set uses the
correct start and stop points to recognize the transaction.
6. If you receive an error indicating that at least one event for this
transaction has been filtered out, do the following:
a. Click OK to dismiss the error.
b. Right- click any column of the events pane.
c. Select Remove All Column Filters from the shortcut menu.
d. Double-click a transaction on the Transactions tab again.
7. (Optional) Right-click any transaction listed on the Transactions tab and
select Track from the shortcut menu.
Note: While the Track feature is enabled, whenever you click a transaction on
the Transactions tab, BT Studio automatically displays the starting event for
that transaction in the events pane and the related transaction definition in the
rules pane.
You can also select Tools, Restart to run events against defined rules from the
beginning of the event log file to the end or to the first encountered
breakpoint.
Use Breakpoints When Testing Rules
A breakpoint is a line of the event log file where you want BT Studio to start or
stop analyzing events against the defined rule set. The use of breakpoints
allows you to focus your attention on a certain subset of events. BT Studio
indicates a breakpoint with a red dot in the status column of an event in the
events pane.
