🚦Rules
How Rules Work
Rules are the conditions that must be met for an alarm to be triggered.
Based on rules, you can configure in detail when an alarm should be triggered.
Rules are created for individual assets. A single attribute can be monitored per asset. With a rule, you set a limit value for this attribute. If the value of the monitored attribute rises or falls below/above this limit value, an alarm is created.
