Rules
Rules allow you to define conditions that trigger events/alarms. For example, a rule could be defined to trigger an event when the internal temperature of a boiler is greater than 200 degrees. Rules can be associated with actions. An event is created when the rules engine detects the conditions of a rule are met. Upon creation of an event, an associated action can be triggered. Examples of actions are sending an email, sending an SMS message, sending data to a webhook, sending a message to Microsoft Teams, etc.
