In Studio you can add rule statements to rules. Rule statements allow you to add a message to individual rules that will be returned with the result payload from a call to the decision service. Rule statements allow you to capture "why" a decision was made. They are often used to debug rules or to capture an audit trail. Example:
When these rules execute, they produce the corresponding types of rule messages:
Configuration
Each of the target platform wrappers provide the information for implementing and managing rule messaging, as shown:
/*
*******************************************************
*Configuration Properties for Rule Messages
*******************************************************
*/
const configuration = {
logLevel: 0,
ruleMessages: {
executionProperties: {
restrictInfoRuleMessages: true,
// If true Restricts Info Rule Messages
restrictWarningRuleMessages: true,
// If true Restricts Warning Rule Messages
restrictViolationRuleMessages: true,
// If true Restricts Violation Rule Messages
restrictResponseToRuleMessagesOnly: true,
// If true the response returned has only rule messages
},
},
};
Setting a configuration
The syntax of a configuration might look like this when we want to suppress violation messages, and put messages in the log:
const configuration = {
logLevel: 0,
ruleMessages: {
restrictViolationRuleMessages: true,
logRuleMessages: true
}
};
