This chapter discusses the following topics:

Sub-Element Collect Grouping
Overview
Typically, a Netcool/Proviso Technology Pack defines sub-element grouping rules. Grouping rules organize and
filter networking data into a structure that makes it easier to collect data on thousands or millions of resources.
Sub-element grouping rules organize data in tree structures. Each folder (branch) in the tree is associated with a
rule or condition. If a sub-element property satisfies the rule or condition associated with a folder in the grouping
tree, the sub-element is placed in the folder. The sub-element is then tested against the rule or condition in the
next folder below. If the sub-element passes that test, it is tested against the rule or condition in the next folder,
and so on.
The Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack uses some of its Netcool/Proviso properties to define sub-element
grouping rules. Grouping rule names appear in the
DataMart Rule Editor. For information on how to use the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Rule Editor, see the
Netcool/Proviso DataMart Configuration Guide
The Rule Editor contains two grouping rule trees — the NOC reporting tree and the sub-element collect tree.
The following sections describe the filtering rules and conditions in these trees.
