NOTE: Alert Intelligence is a separate, licensed, plug-in module which interacts with other Halcyon rule-based products to provide intelligence between products.
Blank If no status is shown, there are either no released rules monitoring this attribute or the value does not meet the criteria of a rule in order to raise an alert
AIPEND Alert Intelligence (AI) Pending status (blue). Similar to ALERTPND status (see below), except that this rule has an Alert Intelligence action with ALERT(*NO) specified, meaning a MIMIX alert is not raised when the alert delay expires
AIFLAG Alert Intelligence (AI) Flag status (blue). Similar to ALERTOPN status (see below), except that this rule has an Alert Intelligence action with ALERT(*NO) specified, meaning a MIMIX alert has not been raised. However an Alert Intelligence rule to which this rule contributes may have been raised
ALERTPND Alert-Pending (yellow background) indicates that the attribute value meets the selection criteria of a rule but the rule has an alert delay period specified . If this attribute still meets the selection criteria at the end of the alert delay period, an alert is raised and the status changes to Alert- Open
ALERTOPN Alert-Open status (red background) indicates that an alert has been raised for this attribute and is still open
CLOSEPND Close-Pending status (green background) indicates that an alert has been raised for this attribute value and the alert is still open, however the attribute value no longer meets the selection criteria of a rule and it has a close delay period specified. If this attribute still does not meet the selection criteria at the end of the close delay period, the alert is closed automatically and the status changes to blank
CLOSED Close status (red background) indicates that an alert has been raised for this attribute and the value still meets the selection criteria of the rule, however the alert has been closed. When the attribute value no longer meets the selection criteria, the status changes to blank
NOTE: If the attribute value meets more than one selection criteria then multiple instances of the attribute are shown, once for each value.
