View QuestionAs an alternative to dynamic child shapes, you could make use of a list view component, and configure it to show DataMiner Services. Following section in the Help contains more details: https://help.dataminer.services/dataminer/#t=DataMinerUserGuide%2Fpart_2%2Fvisio%2FCreating_a_list_view.htm
View QuestionThis is by design. Capping of a service element alarm severity has no effect on the service impact field of alarms generated by that service element.

View QuestionI remember a situation where a severe memory leak in one of the the AV processes running on the DataMiner server caused unexpected restarts of our software every few weeks. Therefore, if you know there's...
View QuestionThe delay between the moment the issue occurs at the side of the equipment/data source, and the moment DataMiner receives and processes that data, will indeed determine how fast a software redundancy switch...
View QuestionException values should never be taken into account for calculation of average trend entries. It's currently under investigation why this is occurring.
View QuestionIn the DOM Definition, you can define which field should be used as 'Name' for each instance. The value of that field will then automatically be shown in the dropdown menu. If no 'Name' is specified,...

View QuestionI believe what is shown in the screenshot below is more or less what you're looking for. Whenever a search term ('NatGeo' in the example) is entered in the filter box, the service shapes with a matching...
View QuestionIn case a shape is already linked to a virtual function resource, you can use the 'Info' shape data field with value "Resource name" to display the name of the associated resource. Such linking will for...

View QuestionIf you're ok with using a server-side filter, I believe it should be possible through the 'TableRowFilter' shape data. In there, you can use the 'fullFilter=' syntax, which supports OR-statements. More...
View QuestionThe Visual Overview drawing itself cannot directly drive the coloring of a View, but if you first create a DataMiner Service which includes the same parameters you're showing on the Visual Overview drawing,...
View QuestionHi Hugo, I'm replying in a new post so that I can include a screenshot, and because there are multiple things at play here, that require an explanation... The "z" part of the shape data will replace...
