Troubleshooting the "Ensure the detected event is part of an offense" Rule Action not preventing offenses from being added

Troubleshooting


Problem

The option, "Ensure the detected event is part of an offense" does not prevent events from being added to the new offense when the rule has a stateful.

Symptom

Offenses generated by stateful rules include both CRE events and events detected by the tests when the wanted behavior is to include CRE events only.
 
A stateful rule is one such as "when at least this many events are seen with the same event properties in this many minutes"
stateful rule

Example of an affected rule:

  • Rule Action: Do not check "Ensure the detected event is part of an offense"  
  • Rule Response: Check "Dispatch New Event" and "Ensure the dispatched event is part of an offense"rule2
