Control Center Rule Correlation

Two of the things we utilize Control Center for is SLC notification and processes that do not end successfully. We have some transmissions that are monitored on SLCs that are contractual (sla). We do get an alert if the sla transmission has not started yet or is late. However, if the same sla transmission fails, that comes out on Control Center as a different type of alert due to it being a different event type. Currently it seems to be impossible to build what I call an "error in process" rule that can use rule key SLC name. We would like to somehow correlate the failure of the transmission to it being a contractual transmission so that it will be more apparent to the operator. Our only alternative is to build multiple error in process rules that would contain a list of the contractual transmissions and the rule can be named so that when it comes out, the operator knows that the transmission that failed is contractual.

How will this idea be used?

This will be used to provide correlation between a contractual transmission that is on a slc and a transmission failure.

    Soon this will be possible. Currently, SLC events generated as a result of another event, for example a step end event, perhaps for a file transfer, or a process end event, include that "source" event's event ID and date/time value. We will be adding the message ID and return code values from the source event to the SLC event. This will allow a user to simply add one additional rule to watch for an "SLC was satisfied" event. For example, CSLC037I - Ended as expected. (Rule priority wise, this new rule would be lower than the rule that watches for the SLC events that indicate whatever was supposed to happen, did not, but higher priority than a rule that handles the SLC events that indicate everything worked as it should.) By adding a rule that watches for CSLC037I, along with a criteria that specified the source events return code, one could have an action associated with that rule that informs someone that a transfer did occur when it should, but that it failed.
