Hi all,
I am trying to group a load of services by group so if any of the services or all of them go critical in one view then I only get one alarm. But I have three different views with three different sets of services in. So if all of the go critical I want to get just 3 alarms, one per view. But they are inside a big chain of other views. I guess my question is when i group by view will i get just one alarm as they are technically all connected to the same view just if you drill down, or does it look at the first view that the service is in?
Sorry for confusion I know its horrible to read.
As this question has now been inactive for a long time, I will close it. If you still want more information about this, could you post a new question?
On DataMiner Docs, I read the following
If you have alarms grouped by view, and an alarm event occurs on an element that is in multiple views, the alarm is added for each of these views. However, only elements directly under a view will be grouped. Elements from subviews will not be part of the same group.
So, if I understand your setup correctly, it seems that it will create 3 alarms in your case.
Another feature you might want to check out is Automatic Incident Tracking. This feature will also automatically group your alarms by view. It is however smarter than a correlation rule, as it will only group on view if it thinks the view information is important for the incident in question. To determine this, it takes into account other information like the time difference between the alarms in the view, how many alarms are active in the view, alarm history, ...
