Using variables

Using variables

EPL supports the use of variables in monitors. Depending on where in the monitor you declare a variable, that variable is global or local:

Global. Variables declared in monitors and not inside actions or events are global variables. Global variables are in monitor scope.

Local. Variables declared inside actions are local variables. Local variables are in action scope.

A variable can be of any of the primitive or reference types that are described under Types in the EPL Reference.

Information about variables is presented in the topics below.
