Using logical expressions

This topic helps you to derive new composite attributes by using existing attributes.

Deriving a new attribute by using an existing attribute

To derive a new attribute by using an existing attribute, use a logical expression in PATROL for Composite Attributes. Here is an example to derive a new attribute by using an existing attribute: 

Expression to derive a new attribute:

Attribute <Logical operator> Constant value

Example: MemoryUsed > 10240

Deriving a new attribute by using a combination of existing attributes

To derive a new attribute by using a combination of existing attributes, use a logical expression in PATROL for Composite Attributes. Here is an example to derive a new attribute by using a combination of two or more existing attributes:

Expressions to derive a new attribute:

  • (Attribute <Arithmetic operator> Attribute <Logical operator> (Attribute <Arithmeticoperator> Constant value) 

Example: SpaceUsed + SpaceAllocated >= (SpaceLeftPct / 100)

  • (Attribute <Arithmetic operator> Attribute) <Logical operator> (Attribute <Arithmetic operator> Attribute)

Example: (WriteBytes + ReadBytes) == (WriteOps + ReadOps)
