Configure Order information for external nodes


Use the Order tab to specify the order of evaluation of external and managed nodes. The order of evaluation is partly determined by the pattern settings you make in the Details tab.

To specify the order of evaluation

  1. In the Details tab, you will have specified the pattern you want to match.
  2. Select the Check Before Managed Nodes check box to have external nodes evaluated before managed nodes. This can be faster, because it avoids some of the checking that occurs with configured node names. When this box is checked, messages with node IDs that match the pattern you specified in the Details tab are associated with the external node. If this box is not checked, the managed node takes precedence.
  3. The two lists display all external nodes that have been created. The order of the two list shows the order of evaluation set for incoming messages. Nodes are evaluated in descending order; the node at the top of the list has the highest priority and will be evaluated first. You can change the order of evaluation using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. After the first node has matched, the message is assigned to that node and no further evaluation takes place.
  4. Select the Outage tab to view outage information for the external node.
