As you write your rules in the editor you can immediately apply the rules to the selected template file and inspect the outputs of each of the components that are included in a context. To start testing your rules first select the Context Instance in the Editor. This will activate the template viewer shown here at the bottom of the editor. Once the Context instance is selected in the editor you can then run, refresh, and step through your template file and see the results of the configuration as the context is executed within the adaptor runtime. This is not emulation. You are actually running this context in the same runtime that is provided as the Hyades Generic Log Adaptor runtime.
To run the adaptor using the current configuration, select the Context instance in the editor, the click on Refresh Data toolbar button in the Template Log viewer. Update the extractor if necessary then rerun the adaptor, using Refresh Data Template Log toolbar button.
Use Show First Event, Show Next Event, Show Previous Event, Show Last Event actions from the Template Log toolbar to navigate the events generated by the extractor.
