Please, Dojo
When using the “Duplicate” parameter command in alarm templates, is it correct to always expect a filter available for parameters where the duplication is applied?
Or could there be cases where the same entry is allowed twice in a given Alarm Template, without the need for a filter?
In such a case, what would be the line applied by the system when generating the alarm for the above example? The 1st or the 2nd one?
Found this within 10.2.4.0-11608, but I suspect the duplication could be from a previous version
(upgraded to 10.2 only recently, the test element had the same A.T. before the upgrade).
Thanks
Hi Alberto,
The filter should be present in case your parameter is a column parameter.
The filter will not be present in case your parameter is a standalone parameter.
It’s possible to duplicate standalone parameters (without filter), to allow the user to define multiple thresholds, where the one that will be applied will be based on conditions defined in the condition section on the far right-hand side of the alarm template.
Hi Alberto, it is. DataMiner will look at the template entries from top to bottom. When the condition for the first row is false, it will get applied. In case it’s true, the 2nd row will get applied.
You can see the 2nd row as the default since there is no condition mentioned on it.
Thanks for clarifying – I hadn’t used this before, glad I came across it
Thanks, Ive, much appreciated – in case of a duplicated parameter I’ve retrieved this in the page you linked
“Note: If there are multiple alarm template entries for the same parameter, each with a different condition, then the first entry of which the condition is false, starting from the top, will be applied”
In the example above, though, the 1st row has a condition, while the other hasn’t – in this case is the Alarm Template still valid?
