I have a Parameter in a Protocol where I want to have it read differently in the active alarms compared to a table header. From the Protocol snip below the Description is “Scheduler MER Entry”
<Param id=”6008″ trending=”false”>
<Name>measurementsSigInterfacesDvbtCurrentMER</Name>
<Description>Scheduler MER Entry</Description>
<Information>
In the Table in the Data display I want it to just read as “MER” instead of the full description.
In the Active Alarm I want it to be dynamically named by the table index and another parameter/column from the table (Parameter 6010)
Active Alarm console I would like the Parameter Description to be “Scheduler Entry X (SERVICE) MER” ie in the example below “Scheduler Entry 5 (RTQ12) MER”
Does this sound like something possible or partially possible?
At the moment the Parameter Description in the Alarm Console is just the Description as per the protocol followed by the table index number.
Hi Sam,
The behavior that you are describing is expected since the alarm is coming from a table. A possible option is to use an information template to rename the parameter from ‘Scheduler MER Entry’ to ‘MER’.
Regarding the service name, a driver update will be required to display the service name as part of the parameter description. In this case, ‘1’. ‘5’ represents the key of the table. We could update the driver to use the service name as the key of the table.
However, we have to be sure that the service name represents uniquely the row in the Scheduler table. If this is not the case, what we can do is concatenate the service name with another value to make the key (display key) of the table unique.
