Template Rules

A template rule is a rule that acts as a generic template and lets multiple instances run. The rule should contain user-defined tokens that enable AEC to identify similar (but unrelated) events.

Tokens are set when events are compared against the rule; the tokens take the values of the corresponding items in the event.

When an event occurs that matches the match string in a rule but does not agree with the user-defined tokens, the new event invokes another instance of the rule. This new instance processes with its own token values, and, at the time of its maturity and reset, creates its own correlation and resets messages.
