You could create a listener and combine it with a log.  There is org.drools.event.rule.DefaultAgendaEventListener that has two methods I use to log which rule started firing and when the rule completes firing with:

       @Override
       public void beforeActivationFired(BeforeActivationFiredEvent event)
       {
               try
               {
                       logFile.write("Package(" + event.getActivation().getRule().getPackageName() + ").Rule(" + event.getActivation().getRule().getName() + ") firing ... ");
               }
               catch (Exception e) { }
       }

       @Override
       public void afterActivationFired(AfterActivationFiredEvent event)
       {
               try
               {
                       logFile.write("done!\n");
               }
               catch (Exception e) { }
       }

You could obviously do other logging with time and date stamps, or send it to a database rather than a .log file like I'm doing here.  In my case I get a list of all rules that fire in a fireallrules session.  I can see if a rule fires multiple times, or ends up in an endless loop.

Subject: [rules-users] How to improve drools performance?

Is there a way to log / monitor the time taken for rule in a Drools rule set?

Is there a way to make sure that one rule is not executed more than once(It seems to be happening in my case)

What are the general guidelines on improving Drools performance?

Currently I am using a one single DRL file with 100 odd rules.

Any additiional information you need will be provided.

Thanks,

Abdul
