Hi, I have alarm on a column called number of occurence. I am noticing the number of alarms being triggered isn't the same as the total number of occurence. This problem doesn't happen for all alarms, it seems to happen randomly, does anyone know why this happens? How can I avoid this?
Example: number of occurrence is 5 so I would expect one more alarm there to indicate the jump to 5.
It does work for larger numbers too sometimes. I think I started noticing when I had a lot more alarms for different rows.
Below is my alarm template:
Hi Samita,
That is because the alarm includes the value which the parameter has at the moment the threshold is reached. If the real-time value further increases over time, the alarm will not update, and basically still show the value it was at the time the threshold was reached. There is although something extra you can do, I explain this in this video at 17:05, this URL is linked to that timestamp where I begin this explanation: https://youtu.be/h1nIA11u1Jk?t=1026

Hi Samita,
One way to generate an alarm each time the number increases would be to set up a "Rate" alarm type. By setting the difference to 1, this will create a new alarm every time the number increases. Do note that this wil generate an alarm with the same alarm severity each time, e.g. "Major". You can find more information on the different alarm threshold types in Configuring dynamic alarm thresholds | DataMiner Docs.
Hi bert, thank you for your reply. Thats very useful. Do you know if there is a way to trigger it for all values after 4? Or is the solution to write every number after 4 if I wanted an alarm raised every time eg 4;5;6;7;8.
