Hi Greg, You are probably using data-miner.io: Scrape data from any website with 1 Click | Data Miner This community website is about the Skyline DataMiner platform, you can find more information here:...

Hi Bruno, First of all, if you want to host it on-prem, it won't be free as well. You can find lots of resources on the internet giving you the pros and cons of Azure vs on-prem. So, I'm not going to...

Correct. We are indeed working on a tool to help out on planning the specs of a DataMiner System. How many nodes do I need? Which specs should they have? Which hardware do I need if I host the VMs myself?...

Hi Luis, Two things can happen. First of all, the antivirus can consume more system resources by scanning log files and database files which all change a lot on a DataMiner node. Secondly, and this is...

Hi Robert, It's not supported/possible to have two DMAs in a cluster with the same DMA ID. So, that's a no-go. The best solution still seems a backup/restore, since you simply want a migration to a new...

Hi Greisen, Visual Overview is using Microsoft Visio files, and those are typically used to make graphical UIs for schematical overviews such as top level or site overviews, detailed service views, floor...

Hi Landan, You can indeed use SAML to integrate with an identity provider like Azure AD. I would even recommend it, because then you can leverage e.g. MFA and conditional access to improve security....

In this case, both are indeed fine. You can always use the full upgrade, as this contains everything. But here in your case, you are already on v10.0.0 and you only want to upgrade to a later CU. If that's...

Hi Rene, Those recommendations are quite conservative, and there are no hard limits. They are not enforced and you can go above them, but the system might become slower on certain actions. Our dcpdma.skyline.be...

Hi Christian, 'Toa' (time of arrival) is the 'Time' column you see in the alarm console (part of the default columns). This is basically when the alarm effectively happened or was detected. 'creationTime'...

Hi Elvio, Good question and nice use case! I believe the only option today is to add a new parameter (or column to the table) with e.g. a moving average based on the data you have (like the blue line...

Interesting question! DataMiner indeed runs a mix of 32 and 64 bit processes. In short, the processes potentially requiring lots of memory on bigger systems (more than 4GB) are running 64 bit, the other...

Yes, I would most definitely recommend it. If an upgrade becomes available, it's always best to install it. Any upgrade is well tested, and it will bring you new features and fixes. So, I see no reason...

It's not an automation script, but we do also have a driver which checks HTTPS and a long list of other security related items of a given server, as well as firewall ports and if the database connection...

Hi Bethany, There are 2 places where you might still find this deleted Visio file: On the client machine where you did the last online edit of that Visio file, you should find a copy in the following...

Hi Jeff, Next to using correlation, you can also simply activate monitoring of the general parameter '[Element alarm state]', and generate a critical alarm if that parameter indicates 'Timeout'. See...

I was not aware of this extension. I just installed it and it works fine with DataMiner 10 as well! It is basically loading IE inside Chrome, and then IE is navigating to the URL of your DMA and IE is...

Yes, you can change this with the DMSRevision tag in the MaintenanceSettings.xml. Default is indeed at midnight, but you can specify another time. See DataMiner Help

Good question! We indeed may need to clarify this in our documentation... Defender is indeed an Antivirus, but this one is actually the least intrusive one and it also runs on all our internal servers,...

Hi Alberto, On a DMA you only need 'SNMP Service'. You don't need the 'SNMP WMI Provider' underneath the 'SNMP Service', and 'SNMP Tools' is also not needed. On a client you want to monitor/poll, you...

Hi Anuj, This is an arbitrary name, you can choose the name yourself. But it should be referring to the tool or app you create and consumes this API, because this is being used in the audit trailing....

No failover is not available on a DMP, you need a regular DMA for this to work. A DMP is lightweight DataMiner probe to collect data and forward this to a central DMS, therefore features like failover...

No problem, you can safely disable this service on a DataMiner Agent. PS: I believe the problem only exists on domain controllers. PPS: Nice catch! You are very much up to date on security, which is...

Hi Bruno, You need to configure the from email address in DataMiner. Here is a snippet from the help: To specify the default “From” address to be used in outgoing email messages, do the following:...

Hi Alex, Thanks for your feedback. The final version of the Live Sharing Service will effectively only use port 443, that was indeed one of the requirements for this service, so that we can prevent situations...

Hi Rahat, I assume you want to assign multiple alarm templates to one element? If that is correct, then you need Alarm template groups | DataMiner Docs. You can only assign one alarm template to an element,...

Hi Tiago, We no longer support offline help. That's a choice we made, and I believe most people will have internet access these days. This way we are able to provide a better and more up to date help...

Hi, Yes, traps will distribute automatically within a DMS to the correct node, so it doesn't matter to which node you send the trap and where the element resides. It is possible to disable this, but it's...

Hi Jeff, When editing a Visio file via Cube or when uploading and replacing a Visio file via Cube, all clients will immediately update the drawing to the new one. So, this should already be the case without...

Hi Ruben, Here are my answers to your questions: Should we list the URLs of all DMAs under Reply URL? Yes, all possible URLs must be specified in the Reply URLs or Redirect URIs. If there are multiple...

I can confirm this indeed concerns false positives and we do scan each package we make available. It looks like more people are affected by this MSILHeracles false positive, hopefully those engines will...

Yes, there is, see: Changing the IP of a DMA | DataMiner Docs

Hi, Visio 2013 and higher should be good. Visio 2010 does not yet support VSDX files out-of-the-box and therefore not the best option anymore. The newest versions of Visio include mainly smaller UI changes,...

Hi Steve, The pipe symbol is being used as separator, and probably because of this only the first part of your Regex is taken into account, everything behind the pipe symbol is cut off, I guess. I would...

Hi Alberto, We support Visio 2013 and higher. (Actually, older versions are also still supported but then you might not yet have VSDX files available, and then you have to fall back to VDX files) Newer...

There are currently no such plans. You can although just easily add a link to the GitHub repo... PS: The resulting artifact in the catalog will be linked to the GitHub repo, and I believe that is the...

Hi Paul, This is by design. The DMA ID/Element ID combo is actually using the DMA ID of the DMA you created the element on. If you later on move the element to another DMA this DMA ID/Element ID will...

Hi, Are you talking about executing queries in the 'query executor' window of the System Center tools section? There is indeed a safety mechanism which will add LIMIT 1000 to the query, if no limit was...

Hi Trong, Be default the value of the alarm is not evaluated to replace such placeholders (for performance reasons). You need to specifically enable this option 'Evaluate Alarm', as also mentioned...

Hi Piotr, We currently don't have a proxy poller, but I believe you can just do this with 2 DMAs. If you connect each DMA to the local acquisition network A and B, and with a second NIC to a corporate...

Hi Jeff, DataMiner will never write to the license file dataminer.lic. The software will only read out the file. This means that the MD5 checksum and last modified timestamp will remain the same. So,...

Hi Steve, I guess this should work, it all sounds logical. If you make sure the DMA ID and Element ID is back to what it was before, it should link back to that history in the old database... Just a small...

Hi Thijs, This is how I believe it works: When using the monitoring app in a web browser, any browser of your choice, then the Visual Overviews are being rendered on the server and transferred to your...

Hi Jack, I don't believe this setting will have any impact on the DataMiner software. MTU is a setting in layer 3, and our software is located in the higher layers. SLNet and SLDataGateway might indeed...

Hi Miguel, Today, connectors are not available for external users... Only the repositories on our GitHub organization are available: Skyline Communications (github.com) Bert

Hi, The following list of IPs are currently being used: 52.149.106.174 20.50.2.35 20.50.217.191 20.103.147.5 Note that these are not yet documented in the DataMiner help, but soon will be....

The certificate on the DMA is a self-signed certificate using the IP address. The certificate currently still contains the old IP address. When now adding the new IP address to Cube, Cube complains that...

Hi Neil, The 16 cores can be on one or multiple CPUs, this doesn't really matter for DataMiner. Note also that we talk about logical cores (I'll see if we can make this clearer in our documentation)....

Hi Oliver, Each alarm will be handled independently by each correlation rule in the system. In other words, it is indeed possible that one alarm matches the filter of two or more correlation rules and...

Hi Bernard, I will probably depend on which type of color blindness we are talking about. In general green, orange and red are the most tricky colors. Here below you can find a color palette optimized...

Hi Jens, That won't be possible with DaaS since you won't have access to the nodes doing the job. DaaS is a managed service, meaning you only have access to the DataMiner software, not to the compute...

Hi Ramya, I assume you are talking about the 'Amazon AWS S3 File Upload' driver? Which was also discussed in this question: Amazon AWS S3 File Upload-Parameter - DataMiner Dojo? This driver uploads files...

Hi Thomas, That should be SLScheduler: Bert

Hi, I believe this might already help you a bit: This help page 'Running an Automation script from a Correlation rule | DataMiner Docs' mentions an interesting note at the bottom about passing on information...

Hi Zean, The communication between DMPs (probes) and a DMS (a central, main cluster) is independent of a cloud connection to dataminer.services. So, it is perfectly possible to only connect your DMS to...

Most definitely! That is the way to connect to Cube when your DMS is hosted by Skyline in Azure. When you choose DataMiner As A Service, then your DMS is hosted in Azure and it will be connected to dataminer.services....

Hi, We have tested and validated Azure Virtual Desktop, and that worked fine. We were not able to find any issue or delay. The performance depends on the available resources of course... Bert

Hi, The DataMiner processes connecting to the cloud are running as System account by default, so you should configure the proxy settings of this user. I haven't done that myself yet, so not sure if this...

Hi Fabrizio, The type of CPU doesn't really matter for DataMiner. Most important is how much CPU power we have available, e.g. by looking at the PassMark benchmark. A Xeon Silver can do the job if you...

Hi Alberto, I haven't used Visio 2021 yet, but it seems there are no big changes so everything should still work fine with DataMiner. You can find more details about what is new over here: What's new...

Yes, DataMiner supports the SMSEagle gateway. Therefore you need the mobile gateway option and more info to configure this, can be found in the help. This is the result in the UI:

Hi Mahito, Good question! Drivers are now available in the Catalog (dataminer.services). When your DMS will be connected to the cloud, we will soon add the possibility to deploy drivers from the catalog...

The answer can indeed be found in this question: Timeout: Switching to polling. Possibly due to some firewall setting – DataMiner Dojo

Hi Ruben, The 'virtual' FQDN would need to be a DNS record converting dma01.dataminer.company.com to the Virtual IP address of that failover pair. And then you make sure both servers also have a binding...

Hi Richard, It's more referring to the average. It's no problem to go above 50% now and then. You should just make sure you have sufficient margin on the DMA for client requests and occasional actions...

Hi Wil, There are indeed 2 things you can do with AzureAD. The first is using AzureAD for authentication, I guess that's what you're already doing, being able to log in with your Azure AD account in DataMiner....

You actually have the choice when clicking apply. Either it's only changing the alias, or either it's effectively changing the name of the server also requiring a reboot. This is the popup: More info...

Hi Jens, The DataMiner STaaS offering is using cloud native storage solutions built on top of the Microsoft Azure Storage Services. You don't have to worry anymore about backups or restores. Everything...

Hi Kevin, Since this is a string, it won't be possible to use "higher than" or "lower than". Instead, you would need to use wildcards, like you already do, but then you need to make sure you match everything...

Hi, 'Source' and 'SourceID' are indeed the same thing. The first one is the human readable text field, the second one is the internal ID to efficiently store this in a database. When 'Source' contains...

Hi, I believe this is more or less the same question as your colleague: Amazon AWS S3 File Upload-Parameter - DataMiner Dojo PS: Keep in mind that you are both working on the very last DMA still running...

Hi, Swarming is expected to be available for production in Q4 of this year. Bert

Hi Bing, Yes, DataMiner is also supported on Windows Server. The page you refer to, indeed only mentions the client OS versions, but you can also use Cube on the DMA server itself. In other words, the...

Hi Jacques, Note that there will be two authentications happening. First against dataminer.services and secondly against your DMS. The first authentication, against dataminer.services, depends on the...

Looks OK to me. Only the CPU seems to be a bit on the low end for all three things together. I assume you would run Cassandra and Elastic in 2 separate Linux VMs and DataMiner in a Windows VM. You can...

Hi Ken, We've been testing Azure Virtual Desktop the end of last year to verify if Cube runs fine in this environment and we didn't discover any problem. You will of course need to keep an eye on the...

Hi Bernard, Technically speaking, you can indeed cross that limit, but then you might indeed experience performance issues... Basically, the system would behave slower and slower the more views you put...

I believe this limitation is only in there to keep it simple and logical. If you move an element to a sub view, it automatically removes it from the parent view because it's already indirectly in that...

Hi Syed, The version you have there is no longer supported and therefore you cannot find it on our download page. Here you have a link to this specific version, but the link is only valid for one week:...

Hi Jens, This is currently not supported. The upgrade packages you mention always include a start action at the end. The only alternative, for the more advanced users, would be to alter the upgrade package...

Hi Jens, I believe there is a disk space problem on the remote location... I see there is less than 40 GB free on the remote location this DMA uses. Maybe best to check this with IT. Bert.

According to the help of Keycloak, they support SAML, so this should be possible, but I'm not aware we've already integrated with Keycloak. We've done already many integrations using SAML, e.g. AzureAD,...

Hi Jordy, This might depend on the actual setup because the data between a DMP and the DMS can be transferred in different ways, so it is difficult to give an accurate answer for your situation. If we...

Hi Piotr, The check for updates in DataMiner Cube is done from the Cube client itself, so it is the client machine who needs access to the internet. And that is indeed more specifically dcp.skyline.be....

That's a short answer: No. We don't use Silverlight for any development and we have never used it... So, there is no impact.

Hi Reinout, You'll have to clear the cookies from your web browser. Then it should work again. PS: Normally this should not happen, but yesterday we gave you more access and therefore we had to do something...

Hi Mohannad, The Offline Window page is indeed more for recurring windows. E.g. a service which is only live during the evening. If you want to plan a maintenance window on a specific date in the future,...

Hi Kawssar, It's indeed unexpected that a protocol would be listed in the unused protocols tool while it's still in use... If you would be able to reproduce this, please let us know so that we can take...
