Hi!

What would be the best way to implement alarming of time delay on the Update Time column?

I am currently thinking of adding an extra column to the table, where you can choose to activate tracking of the difference between DateTime Now and Update Time. When it's active, it will update the value every minute or so and display it as the type int in the table.

This is regarding the driver Satcom Technologies NetMAC with SNMP traps, where we need to check if Update Time has surpassed 5 minutes

EDIT: As there is no current solution to this issue, I thought the best way would be to edit the protocol. Apparently this DateTime alarming is an ongoing SW feature request, as protocol change would increase the SLProtocol process; please vote and comment to make this feature more prioritized: Alarming a DateTime parameter – DataMiner Dojo

Hi Emilie,

I believe it is a good approach. This approach is also used when monitoring heartbeat traps.

Since you are planning to execute this workflow (every minute) in a table, keep an eye on the number of rows of the table.

Thanks for the quick answer, Miguel. Do you know if this monitoring of heartbeat traps is implemented in any of Skylines connectors?

Hi Emilie,
There is an example on this connector (Aviat Provision):

See parameter ‘Northbound Status’
Please let me know if you are able to access to the connector
