RMS - Administrator’s Guide
For instance, if the previous value for Projector Lamp Hours is 999 and the new value is 1001 and the
threshold is set to 1000 and the threshold operator is set as "Greater Than", the RMS server checks to see if the
previous value compared to the threshold, i.e. 999 is Greater than 1000 is False, has a different result than the
new value compared to the threshold, i.e. 1001 is Greater than 1000 is True.
This change results in an Alert message being logged using the RMS logging settings. Also, a message is sent
to all users registers for a notification matching the parameters group, room, and status type.
If the Lamp Hours changes from 1001 to 999, the RMS server triggers an Advise message.
If the parameter is configured to send Advise messages, the message is sent to the log and to all
users registered for a notification matching the parameters group, room, and status type.
Advise Messages
When an Advise message occurs, the RMS server first checks to see if the parameter is configured for sending
Advise messages. If not, no messages are sent and no Log entries are created. If the parameter has been
configured for Advise messages, the message is logged and dispatched via SMTP an SNPP as described
above. However, the Advise template assigned to the parameter, or the default Advise template if no template
has been assigned to the parameter, is used to generate the text for the log entries and messages.
