Defining Indicator Statuses

The status of an indicator enables to define whether an alert must be triggered. An indicator is computed automatically based on the latest indicator values, the aggregation period and the aggregation method.

Creating indicator statuses

To create indicator statuses:

1. In the navigation menu, select Administration > Indicators > Indicator statuses.

2. Click New.

3. Select a Status color for your new status.

4. Click OK.

The new status you have just created will appear in the list of statuses available when creating an indicator interpretation logic. For more details, see Defining Indicator Interpretation logics.

Computation of indicator statuses

The following statuses are available by default:

• Unknown

• Operational

• Warning

• Unsatisfactory

• Critical

• Failed

The indicator status is computed through an indicator interpretation logic linked to the indicator category. Hereafter are computation rules for the standard interpretation logics.

Interpretation Logics	Details	Visual representation
Standard	Default rule to compute the status of "Standard" Key Indicators The Key Indicator is "Failed" for every value smaller than the lower threshold. For bigger values, the Key Indicator status goes from Critical to Operational, passing through Unsatisfactory and Warning. The status of the key indicator is Operational for values above the lower threshold + 0.75*(higher threshold - lower threshold).
Reverse	Default rule to compute the status of Reverse Indicators. This rule implements the reverse logic to that used for Standard category key indicators. The Key Indicator is "failed" for every value higher than the higher threshold. For values below the higher threshold, the Key Indicator status goes from Critical to Operational, passing through Unsatisfactory and Warning. The status of the key indicator is Operational for values lower than the higher threshold - 0.75*(higher threshold - lower threshold).
Accepted Values	Default rule to compute the status of Accepted Values indicators. The Key Indicator is "Failed" for every value outside the thresholds. For values within the thresholds, and as the value of the key indicator moves away from the center, the Key Indicator status goes from Operational to Critical, passing through Warning and Unsatisfactory. The status of the key indicator is Operational for values in the range (higher threshold + lower threshold)/2 +/- 0.25*(higher threshold - lower threshold).
Rejected values	Default rule to compute status of "Rejected Values" indicators. The Key Indicator is in Failed status for every value within the thresholds. For values outside the thresholds, and as the value of the key indicator moves away from these thresholds, the Key Indicator status goes from Critical to Operational, passing through Unsatisfactory and Warning. The status of the key indicator is Operational for values above the higher threshold + 0.25(higher threshold - lower threshold) (or values below the lower threshold - 0.25(higher threshold - lower threshold)).
