hi Dojo,
When clusters get bigger, I guess it’s kinda common to migrate elements across the DMAs to redistribuite the load – when using the DELT function, the element keeps its original element id, so the DMA ID in the exported CSV is no longer giving any indication about the actual DMA polling the element: it just states on which DMA the element was created
In any view card, I can refer to the “DataMiner” column to get which DMA is actually communicating with the device:
Is there a way to keep this info also when exporting the element list to the CSV?
I’m still on v9 for the next few months – but please let me know if any advanced capacity management feature is already available in v10 (I’d need a staging cluster to test this on my own!)
Thank you all
Hi,
It is possible to export the data as it is present in the view card. Right-click on the view name in the surveyor tree, then choose Actions->Export, then select “Export to comma-separated file (*.csv)”.
In there “Data as displayed on view card” can be selected:
That will then result in the hosting DataMiner agent being present in that export. Note however that such created file can’t be used again as csv input.
A csv file import doesn’t seem to be intended to modify the hosting agent of existing elements at this moment.
