-Be careful when adding exceptions to event correlation rules. Exceptions are evaluated against every event in the sequence, and when the exception matches _all_ event(s) in the sequence, alerts _are not_ generated. If the exception only matches _some_ of the events in the sequence, alerts _are_ generated.
