Hello,
I would like to alarm when a certain build version is lower than the current approved build version for software on a card. For example, 9.42.2.198127 is approved and anything less will need to be upgraded to the new version and anything higher should not be allowed which will need to be reverted back.
I have tried using wildcards such as 9.42.2.* being NORMAL and 9.42.3.* being CRIT HI, but that doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks,
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Since this is a string, it won't be possible to use "higher than" or "lower than". Instead, you would need to use wildcards, like you already do, but then you need to make sure you match everything you want to capture...
So, instead of having higher than 9.42.3.*, you can click on the plus icon while editing this CRI HI field and have more wildcards you can enter, this way you can add 9.42.4.* ; 9.42.5.*; 9.42.6.* ; 9.43.* ; 9.5* ; 10.* ; etc.
It might require you to specify a lot more possibilities, but hopefully this can help you to move forward.
Note that it's technically not required to specify a NORMAL value. Everything which doesn't match the alarm thresholds, will be considered normal. The order of checking the wildcards, is from the high to low severity zone. First DataMiner will check if it matches CRI, if not, then DataMiner checks MAJ, etc.
Also a question mark is supported for one character, this is documented here: Configuring normal alarm thresholds | DataMiner Docs
