About the Event Refinement Library

The event refinement library provides you with tools to create new parsing and mapping files, or to modify copies of existing ones to provide support for new devices, applications, and so forth. The library includes the following options:

Suppression rules prevent data from being collected, or prevent it from being inserted into the event log store. Summarization rules allow you to aggregate events to reduce the number of inserts for similar event types or actions. This is the most frequently used part of the library since suppression and summarization rules can help to tune both network and database performance.

You can use the integrations area to view predefined integrations and to create new integrations for your custom or proprietary devices, applications, files, or databases. More information is available in the CA Enterprise Log Manager Administration Guide and the online help.
