Abstract
Techniques for processing filter rules are disclosed. To this end, filter rules having one or more attributes where each attribute indicates a condition to qualify whether a filter rule applies to a subsequent event are received. Summary rules are generated where each summary rule has a number of summary conditions. Some filter rules become associated with the generated summary rules. The summary conditions are extended to span the attributes of the associated filter rules.
