Alarms Description – Simple Way to put a Description/Translation on a Alarm

Hello Dojo-Community,

i look for a simple way to put a description/translation on a alarm; so an operator can grasp the problem on sight by looking at the description. For the time I used a correlation rule as a workaround, but it is not really practical.

-> Example: State is "on" or "off" & i want to show that "on" is an active backup.
So is it possible to change the value without using a correlation rule?

Hi Thomas,

One more thing I wanted to add, based on the example use case that you provided: you might be interested also into looking into service modelling on top of your managed resources.  Services in DataMiner aggregate data from devices to provide operators a more service-centric perspective.  And with Enhanced Services, you can also model logic that will interpret the device data (e.g. provide a service alarm because the service is running on a backup path).  I added a simple example below of a few devices and a service called OLYMPICS-OFFAIR modelled on top of those devices.  You will see in the alarm console that there is one device alarm (on the primary receiver), and two alarms on the service (one warning because it is running on the backup path, and one minor alarm because the primary is faulty, which is a risk for the service that is currently running on the backup path).  We can provide more details about this, but I wanted to check if this is something that might useful in your case, and if you have looked into service modelling already.
