Filters architecture
The following image shows chain-like architecture for filters, as used in the system.
Each alert enters each filter, stays there for a specified amount of time and proceeds further in chain. Main issue with such an approach is that alter can be reported only after its processing is done, which in turn takes at least few minutes.
Notes
Project is no longer maintained. It has been replaced with new, plug-in-based ACARM-ng.
