What's the difference between a rule and a parameter?

At least in the context of Checkmk, what’s the difference between a rule and a parameter? They seem to refer to the same thing. If a distinction does exit, I’m basically looking for succinct definitions of each. Examples would be great, too.

Hi,

take a look at the manual. There you will find a lot of information: Rules

Generally a Parameter is a part of a rule. For every rule you can define individually Parameters. For. With the Parameters you can configure a rule.

There is another useful information: Understanding and configuring services - Detecting and monitoring elements of a host

The best way to understand the Parameters is to create a rule.

You can take a look at this tutorial too.
