I generate a dynamic overview for services with alarm severity:critical using the "child function". ChildType is service and ChildrenFilter is set to AlarmSeverity:Critical.
This is all working but now I'm looking for an easy way to change the filter so that only services with an AlarmSeverity:Critical where the alarm is not acknowledged are shown.
I tried several stuff to add AlarmType not acknowledged to the filter but none of that what I tried worked. Is this generally working and if so what is the correct command/syntax I have to use?
Hi Jürgen,
From what I can tell, you are using service templates to create services and want to exclude "not acknowledged" alarms.
Unfortunately, that is not possible, as mentioned here:
"Like in a service, inclusion and exclusion can be triggered based on a parameter state, alarm state or element state, or on whether the element is part of the active connectivity chain." 4.4 of Creating child elements in service templates | DataMiner Docs
As you mentioned, the alarm state here is based only on severity.
However, without more context, I assume that you want to exclude "not acknowledged" alarms. If so, I suggest masking the alarms, if possible.
I hope this helps!
Hi Jürgen,
Thanks for the additional context.
Unfortunately, that is not possible.
As mentioned above, the alarm state here is based only on severity.
I suggest raising a feature suggestion so that we can evaluate it further.

Hi Luis,
thanks for picking this up. Unfortunately it does not help to fix the issue. Yes the services are created with service templates.
We created a penalty box where services with the alarm severity: critical pops up. This dynamic dashboard is based on the "child function". ChildType is service and ChildrenFilter is set to AlarmSeverity:Critical. This is working fine.
But now we have also services with AlarmSeverity:Critical and AlarmType: Acknowledged and these ones should not pop up or in other words I need to tell Dataminer to not create a child for services with the AlarmType: Acknowledged. Is this possible?
