RECOVERED Actual State

The RECOVERED actual state enables the recognition of messages that are the results of recovery from a DEGRADED or FAILED state.

DEGRADED and FAILED are special actual states consisting of a base state and an applied flag as indicated in the following table:

Actual State

Base Actual State When the Flag Is Applied

DEGRADED

FAILED

Previous actual state

Note: The base actual state can be changed by the automation engine.

To detect a recovery condition, you should use the RECOVERED actual state. When the state is triggered, it removes the DEGRADED or FAILED flag, and sets the base state to ACTIVE.
