Actual Statistics vs. Goal

An alert is sent when a selected actual statistic deviates from the goal by a certain percentage.

The rule has a sentence-like structure as described here:

If Actual <statistic>, <operation> Goal by more than <amount> <[% Difference | Percentage Points]> over <number1> <time_units1> for Queues: <queues> <[combined | individually]> Send alerts no more than <number2> <time_units2>

Where:
