Chapter 5: Develop Rule Sets
BT Studio provides a work environment to help you develop a set of rules that
Application Response uses to recognize the transactions to monitor. Some of
the rule definition steps are iterative: you must perform some steps repeatedly
until finished with that task, before proceeding to the next step.
To define a rule set for an application, follow these steps:
1. Start BT Studio.
2. Open the event log file.
3. Configure applications and servers.
4. Filter events (if desired).
5. Define rules.
6. Check rule syntax.
7. Test defined rules.
8. Modify rules as required to recognize desired transactions.
9. Save changes to rules.
10. When you finish developing one or more rule sets, you must update
Application Response with the new rules.
