Managing Quality Assessment Rules¶

This article describes how to configure quality assessment rules for monitoring objects of the monitoring group, as well as edit and delete quality assessment rules.

Prerequisites¶

Before starting, make sure the user account has been assigned the menu group containing Assessment Rules. If not assigned, contact the application administrator.

Configuring Quality Assessment Rules¶

Select Assessment > Assessment Rules from the left navigation pane.
Select Configure Rules at the end of the row of the monitoring group to configure assessment rules to enter the Rule Configuration page.
Select New Rule, then, in the Select Monitoring Object column, select a measurement point under the current monitoring group as Monitoring Object.

In the Configure Rules column, select Add Rule, then select the following template on the rule page and enter the relevant information.

A rule template supports only one rule configuration under the same monitoring object, and

Up to 6 assessment rules can be configured for numerical (int/float/double) monitoring objects.
Up to 3 assessment rules can be configured for non-numerical monitoring objects, including Missing Data, Delayed Data, and Future Timestamp rules.
All rule templates except for Jumped Data can be applied to monitoring objects of the numeric array type.

Template Name	Measured Quality Dimension	Supported Data Type	Template Description
Out of Range	Validity	int/float/double/numeric array	This template is used to monitor whether the data sent by the device exceeds the set threshold.
Missing Data	Completeness	Unrestricted	This template is used to monitor whether the device data is delivered within the set cycle or frequency.
Stuck Data	Validity	int/float/double/numeric array	This template is used to monitor whether the value of the data sent by the device changes over a continuous period time.
Jumped Data	Validity	int/float/double	This template is used to monitor whether the value of the data sent by the device jumps abnormally, that is, whether the change amount of the data is within the set threshold.
Delayed Data	Timeliness	Unrestricted	This template is used to monitor whether the data sent by the device is within the set duration.
Future Timestamp	Validity	Unrestricted	This template is used to monitor whether the timestamp of the data sent by the device is normal.

Select OK to complete the rule template configuration.

After configuring the quality assessment rules, you can view the monitoring objects and quality assessment rules configured for them on the Assessment Rules > Configure Rules page. The assessment rules will take effect in about 1 hour.

Editing an Assessment Rule¶

Select Assessment > Assessment Rules from the left navigation pane.
Select Configure Rules at the end of the row of the target monitoring group to go to the Configure Rules page.
Choose the target monitoring object on the left side of the page and select Edit at the end of the target monitoring object row on the right side of the page. Edited assessment rules will take effect in about 1 hour.

Deleting an Assessment Rule¶

Select Assessment > Assessment Rules from the left navigation pane.
Select Configure Rules at the end of the row of the target monitoring group to go to the Configure Rules page.
Choose the target monitoring object on the left side of the page and select Delete at the end of the target monitoring object row on the right side of the page. Assessment Rules cannot be restored after deletion.

Exporting Assessment Rules ¶

You can migrate quality assessment rules, monitoring groups, and monitoring objects by export.

Select Assessment > Assessment Rules from the left navigation pane.
After checking the monitoring group configurations in the list, select the Export at the top of the page to export a file in Excel format.

Or, after selecting Export on the Assessment Rules page, select Export All at the top of the page to export all data within the authority of the account under the current OU.

If you have configured quality assessment rules for the monitored objects in Assessment Rules, the exported file contains configuration information of the monitoring groups, monitoring objects, and assessment rules. Otherwise, the file contains only the configuration information of the monitoring groups and the monitoring objects.

Importing Assessment Rules¶

You can share quality assessment rules, monitoring groups, and monitoring objects between different OUs by import.

Select Assessment > Assessment Rules from the left navigation pane.
After selecting Import, select Upload File in the pop-up window to import the configuration information in the file. If you cannot find a template to upload locally, you can export a file as a template by following the steps in exporting assessment rules and then filling in the configuration information in the file as follows:
- Monitoring Group ID: Enter the model ID of EnOS Device Connectivity & Management, which can be duplicated with the existing IDs in the page list.
- Monitoring Group Name: Enter the default name of the monitoring group, which can be duplicated with the existing names in the page list and file. The names of the monitoring groups with the same ID should be identical. Chinese and English names are optional.
- Monitoring Object ID: Enter the content in the format “Model ID::Point ID”. Since the quality assessment rules support parent-child models, the Model ID should be the child model ID if the measurement point is a private measurement point of the child model. For example, the monitoring group is the parent model A, measurement point 1 belongs to parent model A, and measurement point 2 belongs to child model B of parent model A. Then Monitoring Object IDs for these measurement points should be “model A::point 1 “ and “model B::point 2”, and the Monitoring Group ID should be “model A”.
- Rule Template: Enter one of the following rule template name: Out of Range, Missing Data, Stuck Data, Jumped Data, Delayed Data, Future Timestamp.
- Rule Configuration: Refer to configuring quality assessment rules and enter the configuration information in the format specified in the template.

Note

To reference the attributes of the quality dimension table in the configuration information of Rule Configuration, ensure that the quality dimension table has been created or imported under the current OU. For more information, see Managing Quality Dimension Tables.
Successfully uploaded files are added to the list or overwrite the existing ones, but do not delete the previously created monitoring objects and the quality assessment rules configured for them.
