Hello Dojo Community,

is it possible to create a condition in an alarm template, to reduces the amount of alarmed values to those, that occur only after a certain point in time in the past?

I would do it as follows:

As per my understanding this would then ignore the striked values in the table below

Value      Earliest Usage Time (Timestamp)

Error 5    14.04.2022 12:00:00

Error 4    14.04.2022 11:30:00

Error 3    14.04.2022 11:00:00

Error 2    14.04.2022 10:30:00

Error 1    14.04.2022 10:00:00

I tried that, but was not successfull yet. I also tried to change it to "Greater than".
Even though this does not work (yet) this is a fixed timestamp. Could this also be made floating, so that on the rows that have a timestamp within the last 48 hours/2 days are alarmed?

Many thanks and best regards

Hi André

I've verified this with a test driver using the latest feature release and the behavior you want to achieve is working.

The thing to take into account when using this functionality:

  • the date parameter should be defined as a date parameter and not a string.  (in your case this seems to be correct seeing the greater-than option you have in the condition)
  • When your date is formatted as a string this functionality won't work.

About your second request to make this dynamic:  In conditional monitoring, we currently don't support calculations.  The only way to achieve this would be by making an extra parameter that holds that time (today - 2 days), again here that parameter should be a date parameter.

To move forward, what DataMiner version are you using, and which protocol are you using?

Regards

Sorry Jan,
I have not answered your question. We just upgraded to DM 10.2.5. There are multiple protocol having alarm or event tables in our system where I would like to apply such an alarm template, e.g. “Imagine Selenio Network processor” v1.1.3.1 or the recent “HP iLO Management Engine” v1.0.1.10.
For both protocol the parameters are of type double and thus the confirmed functionality cannot be used in this case.
