How does Orion evaluate etrigger conditions?

How does NPM evaluate trigger/reset/suppression conditions in an advanced alert?

A very simple example:

Say I have just two conditions on the Trigger tab:

Node Status is equal to Down

City is equal to Tampa

Doe NPM evaluate these conditions in the order they are listed? Say there is a node down when the database query is conducted, would it fire ONLY if the down node is in Tampa, or would it fire if there is ANY node in the database that is in Tampa?

Finally, assuming the conditions are evaluated in the order listed, does the SQL evaluation process stop when any condition comes back false?

Thanks for any help.

The Trigger conditions will depend upon the Group that they are under. If the Group is set to All, then both the Node Status is equal to Down and the City is equal to Tampa would have to be met in order to alert. If the Alert group is set to Any, then if either is correct, then it would Alert. 

The Alert would be reset depending upon what is setup in the Reset Condition Tab. If you have "Reset when trigger conditions are no longer true" would automatically reset the Alert when the Conditions are false. If you would like to have other conditions to be met in order to reset the Alert, select "Reset this Alert when the following conditions are met".
