Dynamic lists can be referenced in a Correlation rule by using the
option of the Correlation Rule Wizard. For example:filter(e.<tagname> inlist <Dynamic List Name>)
Where, e.<tagname> represents a meta tag in the incoming event, such as e.shn (Source Host Name) or e.dip (Destination IP address) <Dynamic List Name> is the name of an existing Dynamic List, such as CriticalServerList

The two states of Correlation engine are:
When the Correlation engine is enabled, it processes active Correlation rules. When it is in a disabled state, all in-memory data is preserved and no new Correlation events are generated. Disabling the Correlation engine does not affect other parts of the Sentinel system.
Correlation rules are stored in the Sentinel database. When you activate the Correlation engine in the Sentinel Control Center, it requests the deployment information and rules from the database. Changes to a rule are not reflected in the Correlation engine until one of the following things happens:
The rule is undeployed, edited, and redeployed.
The rule is freshly deployed
