1. A method of configuring an event management system, the method comprising:
- obtaining rule metadata for at least one correlation rule, wherein the rule metadata describes a capability of the at least one correlation rule;
obtaining engine metadata for at least one correlation engine, wherein the engine metadata describes a capability of the at least one correlation engine; and
configuring the event management system based on the rule metadata and the engine metadata.

Abstract
An improved solution for configuring an event management system. In particular, a correlation rule can be deployed based on metadata for the correlation rule and/or a correlation engine. The metadata can describe one or more capabilities of the corresponding correlation rule/correlation engine. As a result, the combined capabilities can be readily considered when deploying the correlation rule.
