====== Common settings ======
  Configuration tips & tricks common to most monitors
  
===== Multi thresholds syntax =====
  * This syntax allows to set multiple thresholds/severity associations within a single threshold field for the monitors that supports it
  * Example:
    * value > 80% -> WARNING
    * value > 90% -> CRITICAL

==== Syntax ====
  * You can associate a severity transition to a value
  * [SEVERITY]2[SEVERITY]:[VALUE]
  * **SEVERITY** can be selected amongst these possible letters:
    * G: Green (No alert)
    * W: Warning 
    * m: minor 
    * M: Major 
    * C: Critical
  * **VALUE** is the threshold, without units

==== Example ==== 

  * G2W:50 -> 50 is the threshold to set a WARNING 
  * W2M:80 -> 80 is the threshold to move from WARNING to MAJOR 
  * M2W:70 -> 70 is the threshold to move from MAJOR to WARNING 
  * You can combine multiple associations on the same line: G2W:50 W2M:80 M2W:70
  * With this example: G2W:80 W2M:90, the below severity will be used:
    * value < 80 -> No alarm
    * value = 80 -> WARNING
    * value = 89 -> WARNING
    * value >= 90 -> MAJOR
 
===== Filter syntax =====
  * Most monitors provide filtering capabilities for settings specific rules.
  * Those filters help to match a particular instance, user or client by example.
  * This is the behavior and syntax to use:

^ syntax ^ effect ^ example ^ 
| * or .* | Matches any string | |
| ''abc'' | Matches any string containing ''abc'' | ''admin'' matches ''superadmin'' |
| ''abc,xyz,...'' | A coma separated list, matches any string containing at least one member | ''admin,extended'' matches ''extended_user'' |
| ''!abc'' | Matches any string not containing ''abc'' | ''!admin'' does not match ''superadmin'' |
| ''!abc,!xyz,...'' | A coma separated list of exclusions | ''!admin,!extended'' does not match ''admin_user'' |
| ''abc+xyz+...'' | Match string only containing  all members | ''admin+user'' does not match ''admin_password'' |
| Regexp | Match strings matching a valid regular expression | ''admin.*'' matches ''admin_password'' |

**Note:**
  * ''abc*'' does **not** match any string starting with ''abc'' 
    * abcd -> no match
    * abccc -> match
  * In such case you must use ''abc.*'' (as per regex syntax)

===== Exclusion rules =====
  * It is possible to set rules to exclude a particular set of data from the monitoring.
  * Those rules must be defined before the actual monitoring rules.
  * To set an exclusion rule, set the appropriate filter and select ''DISABLED'' as severity
  * Each result item matching the rule will be removed from the pool of results and won't be processed by next rules

==== Example ====

**Shortdumps**
^Active^Instance^Client^Error Id^Report^Time period (min)^Max dumps^Aggregates^Severity^Auto clear^Alarm tag^Alarm^Metric^Report^
|true|*|800|*|*|15|10|true|DISABLED|true| |true|false|true|
|true|*|*|*|Z_FI_REPORT|15|10|true|DISABLED|true| |true|false|true|
|true|*|*|*|*|15|10|true|WARNING|true| |true|false|true|

  * In this example, all shortdumps will be monitored, except for the ones from client 800 or on report Z_FI_REPORT
