Hi All,
We have an element with multiple different connections and DVEs created by the parent element. My question is, is there:
- The ability to disable timeout alarms on user specified connections.
- Disable timeout alarms on DVEs if the parent element has a timeout alarm on it already.
This will improve monitoring on our system and reduce the amount of alarms for a component which has multiple elements pointing towards it.
Thanks,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
You could disable timeout alarms per connection via element settings:
From DataMiner Docs - Adding and deleting elements:
Include timeout: The element will go into timeout state if this connection times out.
Regarding disabling timeout alarms on DVEs, you will need to tweak the driver to modify this behavior (see DataMiner Docs - overrideTimeoutDVE attribute). By default DVEs will not go into timeout if the parent element goes into timeout. Maybe in your case the connector has this option set to true.
This feature suggestion is related – at present the change for DVE requires a protocol tweak – if this is accepted, a DM admin could use the on/off toggle:
Many thanks Miguel, this has helped a lot! I shall implement these changes as described above. Indeed the option is set to true, I shall remove it/ set to false.
