Audience: Administrators
Allow the system to automatically determine an asset's overall status based on the status of its sub-components. To ensure critical failures aren’t overlooked, the system immediately reflects component-level failures in the high-level infrastructure view.
Example of a facility status deduction rule
You manage an industrial water pumping station (the parent asset) that relies on a main valve (the child component). If the main valve fails, you want the entire station to be flagged as compromised without a manual update to the station's status.
You can set up a deduction rule with the following parameters:
-
Primary status code (Parent):
ACTIVE(The pumping station is currently running normally). -
Secondary status code (Child):
CRITICAL_FAULT(The main valve breaks down). -
Facility status (Result):
DEGRADED(The system automatically downgrades the pumping station's overall status). -
Priority:
1(This is a high-priority rule. If another minor component is just in a "Warning" state, this critical fault takes precedence).
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have added facility statuses to apply rules to.
