Types of alert rules
Overview of the different types of alert rules that are provided on the platform.
Different types of alert rules are available on the Sensolus platform. An alert rule type is a kind of template that you must fill in the create an alert rule that is valuable for you. The types that are available to you depend on your subscription plan and add-ons.
A full overview of the different alert rule types is shown in the table below.
| Alert rule type | Description |
|---|---|
| Geozone alerts | |
| Inside geozone | This alert is raised if your asset is located inside a geozone |
| Outside geozone | This alert is raised if your asset is located outside a geozone |
| Too long inside geozone | This alert is raised when an asset is located longer than expected inside a geozone |
| Too long outside geozone | This alert is raised when an asset is located longer than expected outside a geozone |
| Asset stock too low | This alert is raised when the number of assets (of a specific subset of assets) within a geozone is too low. The orientation of the asset can be added as extra condition. |
| Asset stock too high | This alert is raised when the number of assets (of a specific subset of assets) within a geozone is too high. The orientation of the asset can be added as extra condition. |
| Location alerts | |
| Close to a specific location | The alert is active when the asset is close to a specific location (defined as latitude/longitude coordinates and radius). No need to create a geozone to trigger the alert. |
| Utilization alerts | |
| Movement detected | This alert is raised each time motion of your asset is detected |
| Too long without motion | This alert is raised if your asset has not moved for too long |
| Physical tamper alert | This alert is raised if the tracker is removed from the asset (= the physical tamper button is released) |
| Diagnostics alerts | |
| Tracker has low battery | This alert is raised when the estimated battery level of your tracker is low (below 20%) |
| Sensor has low battery | This alert is raised when the estimated battery level of your sensor is low (below 20%) |
| Infrastructure has low battery | This alert is raised when the estimated battery level of your infrastructure device is low (below 20%). Be aware that this alert only applies to infrastructure devices that report battery status. |
| Offline | This alert is raised if your device is offline for too long |
| Not connected to external power source | Some devices work optimal when connected to an external power source (TRACK 1210, ZA 3510). Although they still keep working when unplugged, it is important to connect them again as soon as possible to have the correct behavior. This alert will be raised when the device is unplugged from the powre source. |
| Generic data alerts | |
| Asset tag assigned | This alert is raised if a specified tag is assigned to your asset |
| Orientation alerts | |
| In orientation state | This alert is raised when the tracker orientation state matches the selected state |
| Not in orientation state | This alert is raised when the tracker orientation state doesn't match the selected state |
| Too long in orientation state | This alert is raised when the tracker's orientation state is too long in selected state |
| Too long not in orientation state | This alert is raised when the tracker's orientation state is too long not in the selected state |
| Orientation event alert | This alert is raised each time an orientation event change is detected |
| Sensors | |
| Sensor value | This alert is raised when the device detects a specific sensor value or value window (above, below, in range of, out range of missing value) or a sensor state (a state is or is not met). The specific states depend on the type of sensor. |
| Used but not charged | This alert detects when an asset is used but not charged. This alert can only be used with trackers that communicate with a SENSE CUR 4600 sensor. |
| Shock alert | This alerts detects when an asset experienced a shock. What a shock is depends on how it is defined in the tracker profile. |
| Maintenance alerts | |
| Maintenance required | This alert is raised when maintenance is required to your asset |
| Maintenance required and outside geozone | This alert is raised when maintenance is due and when the asset is inside a specific geozone. |
