Hi,
I'm working on thinking in Drools rules. Right now I'm trying to solve this:
The rule shall fire if _a special event occurs more than 3 times
within 1 hour_.
My _first thought of a solution_ was to count the count the detected
events using a counter. But the counter has to be a global variable,
hasn't it? And global variables are not to be used to frequently, aren't
they?
And global variables must always be initialized from outside the rules
file, don't they?
Because of these thoughts I've looked for a _different solution without
global variables_. I came up with:
function boolean valueExceededLimit(Set<Alarms> alarmSet) {
//....
}
rule "more than 3 occurs within 1 hour"
when
// event #1
$eventA : Value(
eval(parameterValueExceededLimit($eventA.getAlarms())) )
// event #2
$eventB : Value( this after[0ms,1h] $eventA &&
this != $eventA &&
eval(valueExceededLimit($eventB.getAlarms())) )
// event #3
$eventC : Value( this after[0ms,1h] $eventA &&
this != $eventA &&
this != $eventB &&
eval(valueExceededLimit($eventC.getAlarms())) )
// event #4 -> 4 > 3
$eventD : Value( this after[0ms,1h] $eventA &&
this != $eventA &&
this != $eventB &&
this != $eventC &&
eval(valueExceededLimit($eventD.getAlarms())) )
then
// ... do something ...
end
More than 3 is kind of a doable task. But I think of this solution as
heavy in case its needed to detect a larger number of events. I would be
thankful for other approaches to the problem.
Thanks :)
Tina
