Specify any name for the new rule on the Overview tab.
Open the Filter tab and enter temperature in the Metric field.
Open the Windows tab and configure the data arrays to contain the most recent 3 samples.
Open the Condition tab and enter the following expression in the Condition field.

The above condition evaluates to true and creates an alert if the average value exceeds 50.
Click Save to save and activate the rule.
Return to Data Entry and submit a few commands with values greater than 50.
series e:br-1905 m:temperature=55
Open the Alerts > Open Alerts page in the main menu to view currently opened alerts.
Now, insert some commands with lower values to ensure that the average of the last three commands is less than 50.
series e:br-1905 m:temperature=20
Refresh the Open Alerts page to verify that the alert for temperature-too-high is closed.
