Step 3 - Verify Rules

Purpose: To verify that the rules are working as expected using an active channel.

Rule

Verify Questions

Add to Session List

Is the rule triggered when a Windows login occurs?

Are the values inserted into the Session List?

Terminate Session List

Is the rule triggered when a Windows logoff occurs?

Is the End Time in the Session List changing according to the rule (that is, is it terminating the session for this user)?

More information:

See Verifying Rules with Events.

Where: Navigator > Resources > Rules and Navigator > Resources > Lists > Session Lists tab

To test rules before deploying:

  1. Right-click the rule to be tested and select Verify Rule(s) with Events. You can create a New Active Channel to test the rules.

    The following example shows the login rule triggered for several events.

  2. Right-click your Windows Login Sessions list and select Show Entries.

    The Viewer panel displays your session list entries in a channel.

    Note: Once you have created and verified rules and are ready to deploy them on real-time events, move or copy the rules to your user folder under Real-time Rules. Only rules deployed in Real-time Rules filter on live events and show up in a live channel when they are triggered. For more information, see Deploying Real-time Rules.
