Components of Rules

A rule is a conditional statement in an if/then format. A rule can contain multiple conditions. The Performance Manager evaluates rules while generating Analysis Reports. If all conditions of the rule are true, then there is a rule occurrence. If the number of rule occurrences meet the rule occurrence threshold, the rule is said to fire and the Performance Manager reports the associated rule conclusion.

A Performance Manager rules file contains entities known as constructs. Performance Manager rule constructs represent rules. Rule construct elements govern the syntax of the rule.
