I have an alarm template for my DVE element but also an alarm template for the parent element of my DVE element. Which parameters of my DVE element will be monitored? Will DataMiner merge both alarm templates together? Or will DataMiner only look to the alarm template of my DVE element and ignore the alarm template of the parent element?

Hi Koen, this is fairly straightforward:

  • The alarm template on the parent element will generate alarms on the parent element for parameters that are not exported to child elements.
  • The alarm template on the parent element will generate alarms on the child elements for parameters that are exported to child elements.
  • The alarm template on the child element will generate alarms on the child element. The child element alarm template takes precedence over the parent element template if both are configured for the same parameter.

Alarms from a child element generated by an alarm template on the child element will be indicated in the tables of the parent element by a colored background according to the severity, but this will not generate an alarm on the parent element in the alarm console.
