I guess I'm dense...
I bought the Zenoss book (by Badger) and while I like it a lot, this chapter 
(Event Mgt) needs to be more informative - maybe more examples...

It is still vague what these fields are for, example:

"Rule: Expression that evaluates the current even using the evt environment 
variable."

OK - after it evaluates it what does it do? If the evaluation is false does it 
discard the event altogether? 

"Regex: regular expression used to match the current event details"
No kidding - then what happens? What does it do with the matches? What would 
happen to the event if the REGEX wasnt there?

Can I have a Transform and a Rule and a REGEX for one event definition or is it 
just 1 of the 3?

Let me see an example with one of each if possible.....

Here is an example: I have an /App/Fail for NETLOGON component that I want out 
of the event console (ie dropped) for certain systems. 

Do I use Transform to change the event state to 2 if component = NETLOGON? 
Do I use Rule to match on NOT (Component=NETLOGON)?
Do I need REGEX at all?

I guess I just don't get it yet....

Thanks for the help though
