View QuestionHi Bruno, I'll try to summarize an approach of what I believe would be good approach to deal with this change. Non Failover DMA in a DMS: Stop the DataMiner software on the agent in question and modify...
View QuestionHi Arunkrishna, This kind of deployment should be supported already in both driver ranges 10.0.0 as well as 10.0.1. I've included a screenshot below taken from a standard iDirect Evolution deployment...
View QuestionHi Jochen, the numbers mentioned as CPU cores in that overview should be interpreted as logical cores. As you can realize depending on the actual physical cpu, the power of the logical core can differentiate...
View QuestionSpecific to alarm information, DataMiner Web Services APIs expose methods (SOAP, JSON) to request alarm data. HTTP POST endpoints: http(s)://[DMAIP]/API/v1/Json.asmx/GetAlarms http(s)://[DMAIP]/API/v1/Json.asmx/GetAlarmDetails...
View QuestionWith a bit of trial and error I managed to get to the following queries which i executed through postman on the elasticsearch cluster: search query for all alarms older than 6 months: endpoint: GET http://[ES...
View QuestionHi Thomas, I didn't verify each specific technology as mentioned by you but in general any type of type 1 or type 2 hypervisor which is capable of hosting the operating system as specified in our minimum...
View QuestionHi Ben, A while ago I came across the following one page online article which nicely describes NMOS and its key objectives. I'm at this moment not able to provide you with more insights on how widely...
View QuestionHi Tom, not sure whether this can directly be achieved though. The solution which i used in the past to address this kind of problem was to create/duplicate the service template on multiple DMA's and by...
View QuestionDataMiner supports connecting to a single AD as well as connecting to multiple ADs. Single AD scenarios: In case the DMA server (OS) itself is already part of the domain in question, no further configuration...

View QuestionHi Jordy, The Cisco 550X Series switches appear to be running on the Cisco IOS XE operating system. This operating system should be compatible with the Cisco Manager Connector available in our Catalog....
View QuestionHi Manuel, I haven't done this in a while but the procedure I would use in such case would be: Nodetool drain on the node on which you want to apply the change. Stop the Cassandra service. Copy...
View QuestionHi Dino, Yes I believe we can solve this by choosing a "Templated element" instead of a "Fixed element" when specifying the included element in the service template: When selecting a Templated element...
View QuestionH Michael, I'm not sure if this hidden legacy feature still works but its definitely worth giving a try. I believe that if you enter ";;" (so 2 point comma's) as value in the info field of the alarm template,...
View QuestionIts indeed considered to be a best practice approach to keep your DMP's running on the same DataMiner SW version as your main DMA whenever you are making use of the element replication features or add...
View QuestionI do think it's important to note here that this depends on the duplex setting of the specific interface. The way its described by both Leander and Emmanuel requires the interface to be in full duplex...
View QuestionBy my understanding, the problem we are trying to address by providing each node with its own hard disk is that no node will be able to hijack all of the IO bandwidth, causing the other node to experience...
View QuestionHi Sevil, Yes this is still the case with the standard direct database offload options. There is however a fourth standard offload option "CSV offload" which only generates the offload files which contain...

View QuestionHi Stefan, The following documentation page contains all info on composing URLs for shape data of type "Link". More particular the following placeholders can be used at the moment: I don't think any...
View QuestionHi Bruno, I believe you need to define the path where kibana can reach the remote (new) elasticsearch cluster inside the kibana.yml configuration file. If you are running kibana from one of the DataMiner...
