Creating a System Sensor Filter

A system sensor filter is used when you want to find a sensor that would only exist on one system type. This is particularly useful when targeting equipment but looking for a sensor that may only exist in a specific system.

To create a system sensor filter:

1. From the Mega Navigation, select Rules.

2. To the right of a rule, select the ellipsis icon and then select Manage.

3. Select SENSOR FILTERS.

4. Select New Sensor Filter.

5. In the Add Sensor Filter window, select the Sensor Source Type drop-down and select System Sensor. The window expands to show additional fields.

6. Select the System Type.

7. Select the Sensor Type. When creating a general sensor, only system sensor types display in this list.

8. Select the Multi-Sensor Option. If the same sensor type exists multiple times within a system or equipment, you must select how to handle all of these sensor types with the rule you've created. 

   • First Sensor Found

   • Max Value of All Sensors

   • Min Value of All Sensors

   • Average Value of All Sensors

9. Select Add Filter.

10. In the Edit Custom Rule section, select Save.
