> Correlation object
The following objects are directly related to the correlation API.
Correlation
The correlation object has the following properties.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| correlationid | string | ID of the correlation. Property behavior: - read-only - required for update operations |
| name | string | Name of the correlation. Property behavior: - required for create operations |
| description | string | Description of the correlation. |
| status | integer | Whether the correlation is enabled or disabled. Possible values: 0 - (default) enabled; 1 - disabled. |
Correlation operation
The correlation operation object defines an operation that will be performed when a correlation is executed. It has the following properties.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | integer | Type of operation. Possible values: 0 - close old events; 1 - close new event. Property behavior: - required |
Correlation filter
The correlation filter object defines a set of conditions that must be met to perform the configured correlation operations. It has the following properties.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| evaltype | integer | Filter condition evaluation method. Possible values: 0 - and/or; 1 - and; 2 - or; 3 - custom expression. Property behavior: - required |
| conditions | array | Set of filter conditions to use for filtering results. Property behavior: - required |
| eval_formula | string | Generated expression that will be used for evaluating filter conditions. The expression contains IDs that reference specific filter conditions by its formulaid. The value of eval_formula is equal to the value of formula for filters with a custom expression.Property behavior: - read-only |
| formula | string | User-defined expression to be used for evaluating conditions of filters with a custom expression. The expression must contain IDs that reference specific filter conditions by its formulaid. The IDs used in the expression must exactly match the ones defined in the filter conditions: no condition can remain unused or omitted.Property behavior: - required if evaltype is set to "custom expression" |
Correlation filter condition
The correlation filter condition object defines a specific condition that must be checked before running the correlation operations.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | integer | Type of condition. Possible values: 0 - old event tag; 1 - new event tag; 2 - new event host group; 3 - event tag pair; 4 - old event tag value; 5 - new event tag value. Property behavior: - required |
| tag | string | Event tag (old or new). Property behavior: - required if type is set to "old event tag", "new event tag", "old event tag value", or "new event tag value" |
| groupid | string | Host group ID. Property behavior: - required if type is set to "new event host group" |
| oldtag | string | Old event tag. Property behavior: - required if type is set to "event tag pair" |
| newtag | string | Old event tag. Property behavior: - required if type is set to "event tag pair" |
| value | string | Event tag (old or new) value. Property behavior: - required if type is set to "old event tag value" or "new event tag value" |
| formulaid | string | Arbitrary unique ID that is used to reference the condition from a custom expression. Can only contain capital-case letters. The ID must be defined by the user when modifying filter conditions, but will be generated anew when requesting them afterward. |
| operator | integer | Condition operator. Property behavior: - required if type is set to "new event host group", "old event tag value", or "new event tag value" |
To better understand how to use filters with various types of expressions, see examples on the correlation.get and correlation.create method pages.
The following operators and values are supported for each condition type.
| Condition | Condition name | Supported operators | Expected value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Host group | =, <> | Host group ID. |
| 4 | Old event tag value | =, <>, like, not like | string |
| 5 | New event tag value | =, <>, like, not like | string |
