View QuestionHi Rene, Dashboards can indeed hold references to other objects like elements, services, views, ... The references are stored on id to allow renaming of the objects. Transferring dashboards from one...
View QuestionHi Yohann, Not sure what introduced it, but seems like you have an invalid value specified as Default time zone for the client applications. You can find this setting in: c:\Skyline DataMiner\Users\ClientSettings.json...
View QuestionAt this moment, the bar chart you referring to is a chart based on functionality we added in the past for DataMiner Reporter. This implementation has limited filtering capabilities (limited to view, time...
View QuestionHi Bruno, Although replacing newer dashboard files to older DataMiner version might work sometimes (and at some level), it is definitely bad practice and in most cases it will break part of the functionality...
View QuestionNo, not at this moment, but I totally understand the user story of going back to a previous version. Please create a task so that we implement such a feature.
View QuestionHi Ramunas, If it's only one single user, then the user settings could also be valuable to add. You'll find them on the agent he/she is connecting to in c:\Skyline DataMiner\Users\[username]\ClientSettings.json....
View QuestionThank you Alberto, I'm aware that the UX of our time range selector is not great. I understand that in the context of masking just selecting a end date is sometimes easier. There might be something quick...

View QuestionHi Jens, Is creating an alarm filter also too much overhead? If not, you can link to an alarm filter. (see DataMiner Help)

View QuestionHi Arunkrishna, Alarms typically have a lifecycle. When a parameter goes from a 'normal value' into the 'warning' threshold for example, a 'New alarm' will be created. In case the value further evolves...

View QuestionHi Bruno, The parameter heatlines for table parameters are per table row. You can see the same heatlines in the element card on the reports pages as well. There you can clearly see how it expands to the...
View QuestionHi Robbie, We have a tree control in the feed section in dashboards, but it actually does not behave like a real tree control. We have an internal task to rework the list, tree and drop down feed controls...
View QuestionHi Laurens, I have looked into your specific use case and seems like you are integrating the logo in your Visio file via an url. So what happens is that we display a small embedded web browser in the shape...
View QuestionHi Alberto, Thanks for bringing this up. I agree that this would be a useful feature. In DataMiner 10.0 and 10.1 the behavior is still the same though. The use case you are describing, is that one that...

View QuestionJeroen, I guess an Aggregate 'Count distinct' followed by a 'group by' should do the job. Feel free to share your specific use case in case this does not work for you.
View QuestionGQI is definitely what you need if you want to further evolve you pivot table component. The feeds in 10.1.3, like Sebastiaan mentioned will solve your need. But also the filter component can be handy....

View QuestionHey Ive, Like Sebastiaan mentioned you can use the query filter component (currently available in soft launch) to highlight/filter you node-edge. If you want DataMiner to resolve your service-element relations,...
View QuestionYou are totally right here Bruno, we can do better. I have created a task in our Collaboration platform to follow up on this.

View QuestionHi Fenta, In 10.4.12, the [Clients connected] information event will no longer be generated. Same for [Replicated Element], [Remote Element Name] and [Remote DMA IP] sets (element start-up). No need for...
View QuestionHi Bing, I did a brief investigation on the updated Skylicons. Seems like they hold a lot of Bezier curves which have limited support currently in the Cube Visio rendering. Since we already support Bezier...
View QuestionHi Min, I can confirm that the Skyline Taskbar Utility does not create a logfile while taking the backup. The same backup logic is being hosted by the Taskbar Utility process itself, but that one does...

View QuestionHi Miguel, There are no filtering options and changes are low that we will add that as this functionality is going EOL.

View QuestionHi Min, Our DEV team confirmed that the notices should clear automatically. So, as this is not the case for your customer, I would suggest we take a closer look at their setup via a collaboration ticket.
View QuestionHi Dave, Can you clarify what you mean with a 'masked service'. To my knowledge you can mask alarms, parameters & elements (and EPM objects), but not services. Services will indeed show 'Normal' when...
