Simple Rule Editor enables you to define a configuration file-based rule by specifying certain configuration file lines that MUST be present, and by specifying other lines that MAY NOT be present. Several options define how the lines are processed. Normally, each line entered in this editor is considered to be a regular expression that is matched against the configuration file. If you select one of the BLOCK options, the entire contents of the text box are considered a single regular expression. ( For more information, see Using the Simple Rule Editor.)
CPD Editor enables you to specify rules in the legacy NetMRI CPD format. ( For more information, see Using the CPD Editor. This editor is provided for compatibility with older releases; Infoblox recommends using other editor types. ) For better performance and more understandable logic, use the ConfigBlockCheck element in the Raw XML editor in preference to the CPD editor. For more information, see Using Configuration Block Checks.
Rule Logic Builder enables you to define individual logical tests, then combine them with AND, OR, parentheses, and IF-THEN-ELSE logic. ( For more information, see Using the Rule Logic Builder.)
Raw XML Editor allows modification of a rule's XML representation. When the user saves a new rule in the Raw XML Editor, the XML schema for the policy engine validates the rule and highlights any problems in the rule when the user attempts to save their work. The XML Editor is the most powerful rule creation tool but also the most technically demanding. ( For more information, see Using the Raw XML Editor.)
All four editors are available only for creating new policy rules or editing rules you previously created.
