Figure 34-2. Automation Event Processing Rule Editor
This editor has the following fields and selection options:
Rule Properties
- Name —A text identifier for the rule.
-
Enabled —Check to enable this rule’s action.
-
Alarm Only —Check to enable this rule’s action only when the system first generates an alarm
without suppressing it. Subsequent alarms do not trigger the rule.
-
Description —A text description of the rule.
Event Filter
Click Add to create an event filter criterion for this rule (or Edit to configure an existing set of
criteria), so the rule only appears for certain events, equipment, vendors, and so on. This opens the
Event Filter Criteria editor. Click
Default to revert to the event filter’s unaltered default criteria. A
prompt appears confirming this selection. You must enter a filter before saving.
NOTE:
Fewer rules, and more selective filters favor good system performance.
