Customizing the rules file

Edit the rules file for the generic probe to:

Apply any vendor-specific enrichment or filtering that the generic rules file does not provide.
Migrate custom rules from the system-specific rules file to the generic rules file.
Apply changes to the @ClassID, @Manager, and lookup tables as required.

Note: The generic probe may not be able to parse certain attributes if the vendor does not follow the 3GPP standard or has implemented their own types that are not 3GPP compliant.

Attributes

There are some differences in the names or values of attributes between the system-specific probes and the generic probe. The following table indicates where there are differences, and shows the element that the 3GPP standard defines. Be sure to make the necessary changes if you copy over rules from the Probe for Nokia-Siemens Switch/Radio/@vantage Commander 3GPP rules file.
