Elements

The probe breaks event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. Elements are used to assign values to ObjectServer fields; the field values contain the event details in a form that the ObjectServer understands.

During installation of the probe, several rules files are installed in addition to the main message_bus.rules file. Specific rules for the Probe Integration for Nokia NSP are contained in the message_bus_nokia_nfmp.rules file.
