Aggregators

(click to enlarge.)
Event Manager uses Aggregators to collect or receive event sources. These components are used to collect, normalize, enrich, and correlate events. They are modular in nature so that they can be deployed distributed for maximum redundancy and scalability.
Rules
The aggregators use rules to perform their functions. These are segmented into three types: Base, Includes, and Load rules files. The Base rules file is used to forking off the event processing into an include file; for example by vendor. The Include rules file is used by the base rules to add abstraction and layer the rules logic to make maintenance and understanding easier. The Load rules is used by the aggregator to pre-populate data constructs (arrays, hashes, etc) for the rules so that during event parsing the performance is increased by eliminating the need to connect to static external sources of data.
