How to avoid “Generating alarm on an unknown parameter” error?

Hey Dojo community

I have an element log file that is giving the following error:

2021/08/19 11:13:00.544|SLElement.exe|14096|CElement::NotifyFunc|ERR|0|!! Generating alarm on an unknown parameter (1008)

I don't know if it's related, but the number between brackets always seems to be the parameter-ID for trap-receiving parameters. There is no alarm template active on the element.

What could the reason be for this error line?

Hi Maxim

The message you see originates from the SLElement process: When trying to create an alarm/information event, it checks whether the parameter is known in SLElement. In your case, you most likely have a trap receiver that uses allBindingInfo so the trap gets processed by a QAction (and therefore does not need RTDisplay true). Because RTDisplay = false, SLElement will not find this parameter and therefore generate this error message.

This could be related to a recent change in DataMiner (10.1.4) where selecting an item in a context menu will generate an information event. A task has been created to further investigate.
