I am not aware of a feature like that within DataMiner itself, but I think it should be possible to receive the traps in a trap receiver protocol and let that protocol generate alarms. The SNMP manager...

Yes, Kibana can be used for that. You can access it by running C:\Program Files\Elasticsearch\Kibana\bin\kibana.bat and gong to http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/dev_tools/console?_g=() If you want to...

The Cassandra migration cluster tool as documented here will migrate your data from the local cassandra db (and eventual elastic db) to a new location specified while using the tool. In reality it will...
View Question
Possibly that element indeed doesn't have a state defined. What does Helper.ElementManager.FindElement("RT_RN23565_QACTIONS_DllImport").GetElementState() return in your case?
View Question
This error indicates that it will not be possible to initialize a migration connection, something that is needed to migrate from SQL/Cassandra to Cassandra Cluster. Other than this feature I do not believe...
View Question
Hi Klaas, The issue is not DataMiner related, but is related to the process stopping while still being busy with the migration. Elastic locks this index to protect itself, but this causes Kibana to not...
View Question
We have an internal tool that generates an increasing amount of alarms/s until we see that the queues can't handle the load anymore (we only measure on Cassandra at this point though). Afterwards the results...
View Question
Elastic will also be required when using a clustered Cassandra database, as both databases will be needed from that point onwards.
View Question
Hi Ramunas, I can't explain the discrepancy between alarm counts, but I do have a few remarks: Cube will always cap the alarms shown at 100000 to safeguard itself. You'll see the following popup for...
View Question
This is impossible to predict, as latency, amount of separate tables, disk writing speed, network speed etc. all has an effect on how fast the migration will go. There is a migration SPI you can subscribe...
View Question
As of RN26730 these points (together with -12 and -14) have been removed, as they were not used by the client at all, and were not always correctly saved to begin with. After consulting both client and...
View Question
Hi Javier, Switching to file offload occurs when the connection to the database is severed. DataMiner will dump all the incoming data to files (located in C:\Skyline DataMiner\Offload), and will try to...

Hi Cristel, As mentioned by Joey, it can have different causes. Editing and updating a protocol of an element is resolved as a "delete and recreate with new settings" under the hood. If this "new" element...
View Question
Hi Samson, By default this is not possible, as we don't want such system events to go unnoticed. However, for testing purposes you can try the following: As an action, make your correlation rule run...
View Question
Do you see something in the SLNet logging? During normal operation a "Update Property Config" line should be added there when you add a new property. If nothing incriminating is shown there, I would check...

Hi Simon, Unfortunately at this time there is no supported way to do this. You can request a new feature so we can implement this in the future.
View Question
Hi Philip, I believe the answer greatly depends on your setup, usage and situation. Hence, it's difficult to give a definitive answer. If you have no clear limit in mind on when action should be taken,...

Hi, You can check the DataMiner Docs page for sending emails for info regarding this topic. Particularly at the bottom about placeholders [info] and customizing notification messages. Also make sure...
View Question
Hi James, This seems to be an actual bug for databases other than a local Cassandra (So for database types Cassandra Cluster as wel as Storage as a Service). The reason is likely that the database structure...
View Question
The Generic Trap Receiver elements normally have source filters. If you can determine from which elements these alarms are being generated, you can maybe narrow it down already.
View Question
The migration process only copies data from the local Cassandra to the remote Cassandra cluster, and while the migration is ongoing the new data is written to both the old local db and the new clustered...
View Question
I would check the SLDBConnection log file to get an idea of what is happening in the SLDataGateway process around that time. Also note you can increase/decrease the log level in System Center - Logging...
View Question
I don't quite understand is why you would offload both real time trending data as well as offload snapshots of every changed parameter every five minutes, which basically amounts to the same. The local...
