Alerts After N Times Parameters

Microsoft Search KM for PATROL parameters can be categorized in two main groups:

•Numeric parameters: Parameters that have numeric values.

•Discrete parameters: Parameters that have values such as 0=OK, 1=Degraded/Predicted Failure, 2 = Failed etc. These parameters display the status of the component.
