Goal

When migrating to Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1, the WebLogic Diagnostics Framework (WLDF) "Watch Rule" from previous releases has changed to "Policy Expression". 

It is not an easy conversion from watch rules to policy expressions unless very familiar with Java Expression Language (Java EL).

For example, the below watch rule was defined to monitor all datasources under a domain and trigger a notification if its state is anything but Running:

      (${ServerRuntime//[weblogic.management.runtime.JDBCDataSourceRuntimeMBean]//State} IN ('Suspended', 'Overloaded', 'Unknown'))

For another example, looking for when an admin/managed server health state is greater than or equal to 3:

      (${ServerRuntime//[weblogic.management.runtime.ServerRuntimeMBean]com.bea:Name=AdminServer,Type=ServerRuntime//HealthState.State} >= 3)

• What will be the equivalent of that in 12.2.1?
