Operators

Overview

Motadata ObserveOps utilizes operators to compare the aggregates values of the counters/KPIs and compare them to a user-defined value. Operators play a significant role by being crucial to define a specific condition that helps trigger a policy or alert.

Global Operator Types

There are numerous operator types available in Motadata ObserveOps that help users define the condition and extract the desired output. Operator availability varies on the type of counter. For instance, a String type counter will not display the Less than/ Greater than operator in the selection list. Similarly, an Integer type counter will not display the Contains operator.

For better understanding, below is a gist of all the operator types available in Motadata ObserveOps:

Operator Types	Description
Equals:	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value is equal to the user-defined value.
Less than:	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value is less than to the user-defined value.
Greater than:	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value is greater than to the user-defined value.
Less than or equal:	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value is less than or equal to the user-defined value.
Greater than or equal to:	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value is greater than or equal to the user-defined value.
Contains(String type):	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value contains the user-defined value.
In (Array type):	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value matches the multiple user-defined values.
Start with:	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value starts exactly with the user-defined value.
End with:	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value ends with exactly with the user-defined vale.
Range (Integer type):	Triggers the policy when selected counter's value lies between the user-defined range.
