^Parameter^Description^
^Active|If checked, the rule is enabled and will be processed|
^Host|Can be used to restrict the monitoring to a given host (multi instance case). A star (‘*’) will match any host|
^Connection status|Connection status|
^User|If different than star (‘*’), only the connections of the given user will be taken into account|
^Max Connection|The threshold of the connection alarm. If set to 0, the size won’t be monitored|
^Aggregate|Defines how the connections are aggregated before comparing them to the threshold (see aggregate mode)|
^Severity|Defines the level of severity of the alarm that will be generated if one of the thresholds is reached|
^Auto clear|If set, the generated alarms will be automatically cleared from the console if the alarm condition is not fulfilled anymore|
^Alarm tag|You can define some text to use as a prefix of the alarm message generated by the current rule|
^Alarm|Defines if an alarm has to be generated for the given rule|
^Metric|Defines if a metric has to be generated for the given rule|
=== Generated metrics ===
