About situations

Situations are expressions embedded in IF-TRUE statements of system conditions that you want to monitor. This means that if the specified condition exists, then the situation is true and triggers an alert.

A condition consists of an attribute, a value, and a comparison operator. When a situation is activated, the value of the attribute is compared with the value set for the condition to determine whether the condition is met. For example, the Kah_Rsrc_Not_Satisfactory_Crit situation is true when the value of the Compound_Status attribute is Problem. This is the formula:

If
Resource_List.Compound_Status equals Problem
then
the situation Kah_Rsrc_Not_Satisfactory_Crit is true. 

The predefined situations are no longer started automatically, which means that the 'run at startup' flag is set to inactive.
