List: Alarm Generation Rule List

Columns

The Alarm Generation Rule List shows a summary of all the Alarm Generation Rules defined on this Alarm Generator.

All of these rules will be evaluated when the Alarm Generator runs. An Alarm will be generated for each incoming data item (from the input Pipes) if one or more of the Alarm Generation Rules evaluates to true.

If more than one Alarm Generation Rule evaluates to true for a single incoming data item, only one Alarm will be generated, but the Descriptions for all Alarm Generation Rules that evaluated to true will be evaluated, and concatenated into the Description field of the generated Alarm.
