Is it possible to easily make a large amount of changes to an alarm template?
For example, we would like to add hysteresis to 400 entries. Would this be possible using an automation script or maybe using something else?
We already have a solution for automation itself (i.e. without the use of a webAPI), which is available since v10.0 –> RN21878
The AlarmTemplateHelper class can be used to create, retrieve, modify and removal of certain parameter rows in an alarm template. These parameter rows contain all needed configurable information (f.e. hysteresis, conditions, filter,..).
As of 10.1.9.0 it will be possible to create, edit and delete an alarm template using the web API (this has been introduced with RN30383 for which the documentation will become available upon release of 10.1.9.0).
Note that the web API can be called from within an automation script by using the SOAP interface.
