Edit match rule

Learn how to edit match rules in the Data Modeler.

You may need to edit a previously created match rule for your own needs or to fix a performance issue identified by the Proactive Monitoring System.

The Proactive Monitoring System continuously monitors match rule processing for performance issues. Depending on the inspection, it either bypasses a poorly performing rule or records the rule as performance-diminishing without bypassing it. We recommend that you subscribe to notifications. The Proactive Monitoring System lists details of both bypassed and performance-diminishing match rules on the Notifications page and provides a link to the match rule on the Match Rules tab in the Console.

For bypassed match rules, a red warning icon appears on the Match Rules tab indicating that the match rules need to be fixed. A notification at the top of the page indicates the number of bypassed rules that need to be fixed. The Proactive Monitoring System continues to bypass these rules until you fix the reported problems.

Whenever the Proactive Monitoring System flags a rule, the match rule analysis runs automatically. You must fix the configuration of the match rule based on the recommendations provided in the ANALYZE tool, which is available in the top-right of Match rules page. For more information about Proactive Monitoring System, see Proactive Monitoring System.

Note: To fix complex match rules that are not supported in the rule builder, edit the L3 configuration.

To edit a match rule:

Navigate to the Match Rules page:
- On the Notifications page, click a match rules entry.
  OR
- From the Applications menu at the top-right of the Console page, select Console and under the Configuration section select Data Modeler. On the Entity type page, from the list select Tenant, and then select the Match Rules tab.
In the MATCH RULES tab, hover your mouse cursor over the desired match rule and in the displayed Action menu, select Edit.
In the Edit match rule panel, click the Edit icon to update the Rules or Details.
If you are fixing a performance problem identified by the Proactive Monitoring System, see the recommendations provided in the ANALYZE tool.
At the bottom of the panel, click Save.
The Data Modeler saves the match rule changes and closes the Edit match rule panel.

Result

After you resolve a problem for a bypassed rule, the Proactive Monitoring System removes the warning icon and includes the rule in match processing again. A rule with a recorded performance issue, such as a high number of potential matches per entity, remains active while you review and update it.
