When I do a query to get Elements, there are a lot of parameters I can select but two parameters I would like to see in the select are “Alarm State” and “Alarm Count”. These are columns in the DataMiner Cube Elements page as seen in the picture. My purpose is to get all Elements of a specific protocol and filter on Elements based on their Alarm state. It would also be nice filter on Alarm Count.
What I noticed is almost all the other columns in the Cube Element page are in the “Get Elements” -> Select, but these two columns are not.
I would like to create a Penalty Box for Elements based on an alarm state or Alarm count and then use this penalty box as a feed to select and have other components show detailed parameter information on the chosen element.
The 10.3.3 version of DataMiner (which was released today) will solve at least part of your question. The states of elements, services and views will be available in the GQI queries as of that version.
Of course, you could always create a custom GQI data source that contains the alarm count and join it with the existing element source to achieve what you want. You could also include the state if your version requirements don’t meet the above.
Thanks for the info. I was previously using the joins as suggested. The element state in 10.3.3 will help me with my solution.
No need for a custom data source. You can join the elements on active alarms (aggregated per element).
