Boolean Logic Rule

The Boolean Logic Rule lets you correlate events for individual objects under the target object, and derive conditions from those events. You can use this rule to build lists of conditions and set warning and critical thresholds.

Conditions are defined in terms of an object, and (optionally) a state that must exist as a child of the target. With a dynamic Business Process View, you can have conditions to detect when certain key resources are included as children. With a static Business Process View, you can have conditions to detect when one or two essential resources are at a given state.

For example, if you configured a Business Process View to monitor key servers, you can use the Boolean Logic Rule to set warning and critical states when an unacceptable number of servers are at, or greater than, a given state. You could set a warning when Server A or Server B reaches a critical state and a critical state if Server A and Server B reach a critical state. You can use several instances of the rule type to effectively manage sub-elements of the overall Business Process and raise alerts when problems are anticipated or detected.
