More on Logical Functions
Using Logical Functions, you can select how to use or not use the reported state of an Event. You can combine the information
from multiple Events to achieve an end result.
Figure 123- Event Logical Function Diagram
Smart Alert Rules:
Any configured Event can be applied to either the OR Events list or the AND Events list, or both lists.
Events can be configured to be triggered by a sensor or monitored device in alert state or in normal state.
Each list will generate an output value, the value to either send an alert (1), or not (0).
If any Event in the OR list is triggered, the output value of the OR list will be 1.
All Events in the AND list must be triggered for the output value of the AND list to be 1.
The Logical Function combines the two values to determine if a Smart Alert should be sent, as detailed in the table below:
OR

Example: If the OR list value is at 0, and AND list value is at 0, when the Logical Function is set to OR a Smart Alert will
NOT be generated.
