Previously, the help texts in the Counting & Timing section of the Event Console rule editor contained inaccurate descriptions of the counting mechanism. Specifically:

  • The "Count until triggered" field incorrectly stated that the event is "created" when the threshold is reached, rather than moving out of the counting state.
  • The "Time period for counting" field described events being "created" after the threshold is hit, when in fact unmatched events are removed from the console after the period expires.

The help texts have been corrected to accurately reflect the Event Console's counting behaviour.
