Hi Dojo,
I have a shape in Visual Overview that has to take the color (highest severity) of the alarm filter I use.
If I create a test alarm filter and use it under the shape data field of type ‘AlarmSummary’, the shape only takes the color of the element state and not that of the alarm filter. This is how I have done this:
AlarmSummary : active|filter3|true|Alarm
For example, I used the above condition on this shape and I expect it to be green, but it is colorless.
I changed the value of ApplyLinkedViewServiceOrElementFilter to false but it still does not work.
Can you please tell me if I am missing anything/making a mistake? Thanks in advance.
After setting this up locally it seems to work fine. Could you compare what you get in the alarm console with what you get in Visual Overview and verify is as expected? Also please make sure “AlarmSummary” is the only shape data on your shape, as it’s the only shape data that is necessary. Using other shape data might influence the type of shape shown and thus also its color.
EDIT: After checking a reference setup, the following was determined: The “filter” used in the shape data refers to the name of the tab in the Alarm Console, not the name of the filter itself. Therefore the filter won’t do anything. Always make sure to refer to the name of the actual saved filter.
Given that everything is in a normal state, that means there is currently no actual alarm matching your filter. Given that “normal alarms” don’t actually exist. Therefore the color taken is undefined, because there are no alarms in the data set. If you do want the color to be green when there are no alarms in the set, you can use the shape data options and set it to “DefaultAlarmLevel=Normal”
Hi Toon, thanks for the info. I have edited the question and put up an example, please let me know your thoughts.
