Correlation Rules Pane

The Correlation Rules pane in the Correlation Rules manager displays a list of all available correlation rules. The list includes rules from the out-of-the-box content packs and any rules that you defined and saved.

In addition, the Correlation Rules pane includes information about correlation rules, the symptoms and causes of which overlap to form parent-child relationships. Parent-child relationships contain symptoms or causes that feature in a chain of rules defined for multiple domains.
