Schedules

Use Schedules to control when an alarm rule is applied or not. Schedules are based on the time of day and the day of the week. For example, you can set up an Over Demand Alarm with certain threshold conditions for weekdays, and another Over Demand Alarm with different threshold conditions for weekends.

The following rules apply to schedules:

• Schedules are applied in the timezone of each source. If an alarm rule has sources from different timezones, then it is possible for a schedule to be active for some sources, and inactive for other sources at the same time.
• If an alarm is in the active state when a schedule transitions to inactive, then the alarm is deactivated.
• Real-time measurement alarms and communication status alarms are only evaluated when the schedule is active.
• Historical measurement alarms are only evaluated against data that was logged when the schedule was active.

  NOTE: A historical data log timestamp marks the end of the logging interval. For example, a data log with a 15 minute logging interval and timestamp of 17:00 represents data for the time interval of 16:45 - 17:00.
