There are a series of settings that can be configured for each rule. Different configuration options are available for different types of rules.
- For all rules you can configure the actions taken when a rule violation occurs. This includes specifying whether or not notifications will be sent out and whether or not the state of the object will change.
- For most rules you can specify whether Events generated by the rule are “Error” Events or “Warning” Events. For “Warning” Events you can specify the “Event Count Escalation” (which determines the number of Events that cause the rule to escalate to an “Error” Event), and also the “Escalation/De-escalation Window” (which determines the time window that is considered for escalating and de-escalating the status of the Event).
- For rules that relate to thresholds, you can specify the thresholds for logging “Warning” Events and “Error” Events. In this case, you also specify the de-escalation timing.
The following is an example of the settings that can be configured for a rule that involves warning and error thresholds.
