Appendix E: Additional BCM2 Information
In the threshold settings, the Deassertion Hysteresis field determines a
new level to trigger the "deassertion" action.
This function is similar to a thermostat, which instructs the air
conditioner to turn on the cooling system when the temperature exceeds
a pre-determined level. "Deassertion Hysteresis" instructs the BCM2 to
de-assert the worse state for a sensor only when that sensor's reading
reaches the pre-determined "deassertion" level.
For upper thresholds, this "deassertion" level is a decrease against each
threshold. For lower thresholds, this level is an increase to each
threshold. The absolute value of the decrease/increase is exactly the
hysteresis value.
For example, if Deassertion Hysteresis = 2, then the deassertion level of
each threshold is either "+2" or "-2" as illustrated below.
Upper Critical = 33 Deassertion level = 31
• 33 - 2 = 31
Upper Warning = 25 Deassertion level = 23
• 25 - 2 = 23
Lower Critical = 10 Deassertion level = 12
• 10 + 2 = 12
Lower Warning = 18 Deassertion level = 20
• 18 + 2 = 20
To use each threshold as the "deassertion" level instead of determining
a new level, set the Deassertion Hysteresis to 0 (zero).
How "Deassertion Hysteresis" is helpful:
If you have created an event rule that instructs the BCM2 to send
notifications for deassertion events, setting the "Deassertion Hysteresis"
is helpful for eliminating a number of notifications that you may receive
in case a sensor's readings fluctuate around a certain threshold.
