The rule language : Rule modules and rule groups : Rule groups
 

Rule groups

The rules inside a rule module are grouped into rule groups. A rule group represents a set of rules that achieve a particular function, like managing a particular monitoring structure (infopad), or implementing a business policy. You decide how to group the rules. Usually, small rule modules use only one group. For large modules, rule groups provide a way to structure rules so that they are easier to edit and manage. The notion of group does not have any particular semantics for the rule engine or rule loader. A group contains the syntax:
group <groupname> "{" <rule1> ";" <rule2> ";" …. <ruleN> ";" "}"
