Hi , I'm reading the description of Swarming at docs page.
In this page, it says
Swarming makes it possible to recover functionalities from failing nodes by moving activities hosted on such a node to the remaining nodes.
Does the swarming be triggered automatically at the failure of agent nodes, or tat the failure of an element ?
Another question is, does Swarming support Services, not only Elements ?
I'm not talking about the bookings, but the Services what will be generated by bookings.
Hi Mahito,
Today swarming is not yet triggering automatically out of the box. But there is an API to swarm your elements, so when detecting certain conditions, swarming can be easily triggered. In the next versions, we will also start working on more build-in detection so that swarming can happen automatically without the need to add a trigger yourself.
Services are not yet swarmable, but that is also something which will be added in one of the upcoming versions.
What is swarmable or not, is documented in the righmost column of that table in the limitations section of the following page: Swarming | DataMiner Docs
Let us know if you would have any other questions.

Hi Mahito,
I can't give you an exact date today, but the expectation is that this will come in one of the 10.5 feature releases (so this year). As soon as more details are available, I give you an update.
In the meanwhile, please share your use cases for swarming with us either here on dojo or share them via mail (pieter.van.compernolle@skyline.be) in case it's confidential. This can help us in making the most valuable priority decisions.
Hi Bert,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
That's great news !
Would you please tell me what is the expected timeline of those features ?
e.g. automatic swarming, support of Service swarming.
