Rule

As introduced in general concepts, a Rule is a tool that you can use to monitor your assets and be notified of abnormal situations or events.

A rule in Senfi comprises of:

• Inputs
• Conditions
• Output
• Actions
• Rule execution options

Inputs are evaluated by Conditions to generate a single boolean Output. When value of Output changes, Actions, such as email and dashboard alerts, are executed. Rule execution options allows you to configure how the Rule should execute. e.g: how often the Rule is evaluated, when to execute Actions etc.

 Inputs --> Conditions --> Output

 Output Changed --> Actions

Before adding a Rule, you should already have an event or situation that you wish to be notified about. The event or situation should be one that can be detected by monitoring data received by Senfi. If not you will first need to send the relevant data to Senfi before Senfi can monitor those data.
