Resolution

Using the Log Analysis Insight Pack Tooling, open the Insight Pack and review your Rule set definitions. Verify that the Rule File Directory for both the splitter and annotator Rule sets contain the correct path and name for all of the AQL modules required for the splitter or annotator. All AQL modules must begin with the path extractors/ruleset. If you are specifying multiple AQL modules, they must be separated with a semi-colon (;). For example:

extractors/ruleset/common;extractors/ruleset/splitterWAS
