🚦Rules
In this chapter you will learn everything about rules
How rules work
Rules are the conditions that must be met for an alarm to be triggered.
Using Rules you can configure in detail when an alarm should be triggered.
Rules are created for individual assets. One individual attribute can be monitored per asset. With a rule, you define a threshold for this attribute. If the value of the monitored attribute rises above or falls below this threshold, an alarm is created.
