Creating the Correlation Service role - Genetec Citigraf™ 2.0

You must create the Correlation Service role in Security Center in order to view public safety alerts and related intelligence in Security Desk.

3. In the Creating a role dialog box, select Correlation Service, and follow the instructions of the wizard.
   If you have a multi-server Security Center system, make sure you host the Correlation Service role on the server where Genetec Citigraf™ Command is installed.
4. Select the Correlation Service role.
5. Click the Properties tab, configure the following settings, and click Apply.

   Max workload per rules engine

   This setting defines how many data sources a Correlation Rules Engine role (rules engine) can query simultaneously. The workload required to process a correlation rule is measured by the number of data sources the rules engine must query to evaluate the rule. The Correlation Service assigns the correlation rules to the available rules engines in the system in a round-robin fashion. A rules engine is skipped if the new assignment causes it to exceed its maximum workload.

   Alert recipient behavior

   This setting only applies to alerts that are triggered as a result of a correlation rule finding a match. Choose one of the following:

   Only the requesting user

   Only the user who created the correlation rule gets the alerts.

   All of the requesting user's user group

   All members belonging to the same user groups as the creator of the correlation rule get the alerts.

6. Click Apply.
