More information about the element configuration can be found in the DataMiner Help: slow poll. Looking at your element configuration, your element should go into slow poll mode after 30s of timeout....

I don't think you can access the logging of an enhanced service directly in DataMiner Cube (at least not in the past). You can find the logging in the 'C:\Skyline DataMiner\Logging' directory in a txt...

As your table already has retrieved columns, you can update the current column of type "displaykey" to "retrieved" instead. In the QAction that already updates some of the retrieved columns, you will...

Hi Jeroen, The information in the catalog is not yet there because it has internally not been approved yet. I'll chase this to make sure it's available as soon as possible. To give you an idea of what...

Hi Hans, You can find the port info in the ElementInfo property: var myElement = engine.FindElement("MyElement"); var myElementInfo = myElement.ElementInfo; var mainPollingIp = myElementInfo.MainPort?.PollingIPAddress;...

Hi Oliver, This filtering is not available standard in IEngine, but you can use the "Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Automation" NuGet and use the QueryData method in the IDmsTable class for that...

Hi Alberto, DVEs are often implemented when interfacing with a chassis that has multiple physical cards. In that case, a DVE per card is created to have a dedicated element for each card with only the...

Hi Aldrick, Instead of doing this time based have you considered to poll the data in chunks of for example 100 rows (this is just an example) at a time? The main drawback to your current implementation...

The Amazon AWS MediaConnect driver is needed for control. The Amazon AWS CloudWatch driver is used to retrieve metrics from Amazon AWS through CloudWatch. The Amazon AWS CloudWatch - MediaConnect protocol...

Hi Reza, I'm assuming you are using this in a connector as you refer to SLProtocol. In the handler you indeed don't have an SLProtocol object to log to the element logging. There are a few options if...

Hi Alex, If the connection is only used for traps then it's suprising to me that this would cause your element to go into timeout. If you are never sending a request using this connection, then there...

Hi Jens, These can be found in the DataMiner Help (See Session Variables section)

Hi Aldrick, Can you provide a bit more detail on the actual issue you are experiencing? Do you get any errors or is the response just empty?

To start processing sFlow samples, you'll first need to add DataMiner as a collector in the capable products. For example if you want DataMiner to process sFlow samples from your Arista switches, then...

The documentation is indeed confusing, but your guess is correct. The after startup trigger in the protocol used by that element will execute its content whenever the element is (re)started. How do you...

There are dedicated tables for TX and RX interface details in the Cisco Nexus. These tables contain statistics (for example bitrates for the TX or RX interfaces respectively). More details can be found...

Looks like the value for that OID is not a valid integer (empty) and DataMiner doesn't (yet) handle this error. Have you tried polling using getnext to see if polling continues after getting this error?...

Are none of the requests working or do you get a response on some of them? Maybe the snmp agent needs to be enabled on the device or the community string(s) are not correct?

The latest version(s) of the Arista Manager protocol have been built against EOS release 4.21 (more specifically 4.21.1F). More information about this can be found in the driver information: https://catalog.dataminer.services/result/driver/4890...

Hi, The script will be triggered on every create, update or delete action for that DOM instance and will receive the full metadata as input.

Hi Timothy, From what I could find, this is logged when a parameter change is forwarded to SLNet that takes longer than 100ms (which is configurable in MaintenanceSettings.xml).

Hi Miguel, The SmartIPReadThread is a thread running in SLProtocol used to process smart-serial responses. These responses are processed sequentially and the next one will only be processed when the previous...

Hi Randy, Without a MIB or at least an indication of what each OID represents it will be very difficult to easily create a connector. An SNMP walk only contains the value for each OID at the time you...

The Sniffer in the Stream Viewer can be used to create a "log" file of all the request and responses being sent and received from the product. However, this file is not as structured as the Stream Viewer...

The following code can be used in a QAction to get the security info to determine what user groups a user is part of: var securityInfo = (GetUserInfoResponseMessage)protocol.SLNet.SendSingleResponseMessage(new...

Some more technical background information: We will always try and support firmware changes in the existing range(s) of a protocol. This off course depends on the nature of the changes, but supporting...

The CISCO Nexus uses different polling types to retrieve information: SSH: NBM interfaces HTTP: PTP information SNMP: all other information available in the protocol More information about this...

Hi Andrea, Without investigating in more detail, I don't think it's possible today to have a trigger on a failed snmp set. If the set fails, doesn't that trigger a retry automatically (based on element...

Hi Alex, Are you sure you weren't seeing these errors without using partialSNMP? To my knowledge this should not have any effect on this as the table will only be updated in bulk once all rows have been...

Hi Alex, I'm no expert on that specific integration, but from quickly going through the code I can see that there should only be 2 columns in the CSV. The first one will be added to the "start of path"...

Hi Robin, By default, when doing a set on a parameter, DataMiner will check if the value changed in the corresponding read parameter. The error you encounter is because this check failed (will internally...

Hi Robin, If I understand correctly, a value needs to be used when triggering a script from a Visual Overview linked to a user view. This value can be updated by another script that is triggered from...

Hi Robin, Am I assuming correctly that you are referring to generating shapes dynamically in a Visio? (https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Basic_Functionality/Visio/Generating_shapes_dynamically.html)...

When you have a table that contains data retrieved via polling (snmp for example) and you need additional columns that are filled in from a QAction (for example calculated values like bitrates), these...

Hi, the snippets used in this presentation are specific to that example and were used to avoid having to type all the specific code for that example. DIS comes with numerous generic snippets to speed up...

Hi, You will need to create a QAction that triggers on change of the API response parameter, which will contain the necessary C# code to parse the object (response) and sets the relevant parameters.

Hi Jörg, I believe this is caused by a known limitation where only dlls available in the "Files" folder in DataMiner can be used in ad hoc datasources, as that is where SLHelper is searching for dependencies....

Hi, You could use a "Get parameter table by id" query for example with a filter to retrieve a specific row and then select the columns you are interested in. See following example that retrieves a row...

Hi Jon, Network requirements (among latency) are also described here: DataMiner Compute Requirements | DataMiner Docs. This on its own doesn't help you much probably, so I would get in touch with the...

Thank you everyone for your contributions and hope you will all be inspired by the examples we built!

Hi, If you want to execute an Interactive Automation script (with dialogs) from a QAction, then you'll need to make sure that this can be presented to the correct user. This question should provide the...

Hi Alex, I found a similar issue when searching for "Unable to receive the message": Receiving malformed packets from a SNMP device - DataMiner Dojo. In that case, it was because an invalid value was...

Hi Fenta, Is the "matrixconfigV2.xml" in your case a new file? Changing the size of a matrix has impact as the saved labels will shift. Also note that having a matrix of that size can have a big impact...

If the script only needs to set 2 cells in a table, you can use the following code to achieve this: You can find the id of the column parameter by double clicking a cell value in the table (this is...

Hi, In this case, it indeed doesn't make sense to sort on the index by default. I would suggest to contact your Skyline contact(s) so a task can be created and we can adjust the connector to update the...

Hi Jan-Klaas, When changing the connections in a protocol, we recommend to recreate the element because of this reason. That is also why a new range is created to point out the impact of this change.

Hi Filiep, The trigger will be triggered first. In case the action executes a poll group it will be added to the queue and after that the QAction will execute. However, it's weird to have 2 separate...

Hi Michiel, Without defining all the details, the same connection handle for the http session is used for all Connections defined in your Session. The connection handle is only closed (if there are no...

The call you are using indeed does not support retrieving interfaces from a function element yet.

Hi, I don't have any experience with the Generic Excel driver myself. However, to import a file via an element, the file will need to be available on the DataMiner server itself (or via a network path)....

Hi Michael, It should be possible to automatically generate parameter xml and insert it in an existing protocol xml. However, you'll then just end up with empty parameters and I fail to understand how...

Hi Cristel, without more details, it's hard to pinpoint the cause of this. I would suggest reaching out to tech support and providing additional logging so we can determine the root cause.

Hi Tim, This will indeed consume an element license. I'd say that in this case, you can freely use this connector as it's used to provide an overview of the tests running on the system. As this is specifically...

Hi Damien, Could you check what "raw value" you receive when requesting the value for the sysObjectID (using WireShark for example)? I assume it will return "1.3.6.1.4.1.37196.1.2" in your case which...

You could use the following method to show a message box (with a custom message in this case): private static bool Confirm(IEngine engine, string message) { var uiBuilder = new UIBuilder(); uiBuilder.Append(message);...

Hi, If that table is generating DVEs then it will do so for every row. The only way to prevent certain DVEs from being created would be to work with another table where you can then add filters or functionality...

Hi Miguel, It's not really possible to easily show this as this value would be based on a specific moment in time. What might be of interest though is to see if you already reached the threshold (in...

Hi Ross, The data in both Manager and Collector should be in sync, so this indeed looks like an issue in the drivers itself. Could you check the logging of both elements and see if there are any exceptions...

You are correct in your comment that 5.1.5.x is the go to range for new elements. As the Driver Help update is still under review, this is not yet displayed accordingly in the Catalog.

As far as I can tell, only configuration of the flow policy is currently supported. More information about this integration can be found in the catalog:
