> ### General rule conventions

> For each rule, the following details are provided:

> - A colored dot, preceding the rule name, that indicates the status associated with each rule. See Table 6–2 for a description of each status.
> - The alert severity for each rule if the rule fails.
> - The action to take place when the alert fires.

> See the Resource Monitoring Guide for more resource status information.

> Table 6–2: Resource status legend
> This status... | Has a color indicator of... | To identify that...
> --- | --- | ---
> Pass | Green | The resource monitor is currently working.
> Fail | Red | The most recent test involving the associated resource failed. For some resources, such as network, this includes statuses such as tardy, timeout, unreachable, and so forth. Check the Alert Summary page or the specific monitor for possible alert details. This status can also identify an internal error that prevents the resource from being monitored.
> Not Running | Blue | This resource is currently not running. This status is particularly informative as it applies to resources such as the OpenEdge databases and servers that must be operating before you can monitor them.
> Not Checked | Yellow | The resource monitor's status is currently unknown. For example, if system startup has just occurred, it is possible that the resource has not yet been polled.
> Disabled | Dark Gray | The resource monitor has been disabled and is not currently monitoring a resource.
> Inactive | White | There is no active monitoring plan.
> Offline | Light Gray | The resource is currently offline.
