attributes-match (Event Policy)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Execute an event policy only if the attributes of two events are correlated or if the attribute of one event matches a regular expression.

If the attributes-match statement includes the equals or starts-with options, or if it includes a matches option that includes a clause for an event that is not specified at the [edit event-options policy policy-name events] hierarchy level, you must include one or more within statements in the same policy configuration.

You can include event policy variables within the statement to differentiate between a trigger event attribute and a correlated event attribute. You can use variables of the following forms:

• {$$.attribute-name}—The double dollar sign ($$) notation represents the event that is triggering a policy. When combined with an attribute name, the variable resolves to the value of the attribute associated with the triggering event.

• {$event.attribute-name}—The single dollar sign with the event name ($event) notation represents the most recent event that matches event. When combined with an attribute name, the variable resolves to the value of the attribute associated with that event.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.
