DataMiner supports suggestion events, but not all suggestion event types can be turned into an alarm, for example suggestion events for pattern matching.
We tried to create the following correlation rule to create a new alarm for :
- filter: "Is Element Equal to DMA-65"
- condition: "Is Source Equal to Suggestion Engine"
- action: create new alarm with severity Critical
Running the correlation rules only shows alarms created by the suggestion engine, but no suggestion events (where source = suggestion engine as well).
Is there a way to also include suggestion events into the above correlation rule and exclude alarms which are coming from the suggestion engine?
correlation rule & suggestion events (ignored by correlation rule)
alarms created by suggestion engine (not ignored by correlation rule - but should be excluded)
Hi Thomas,
The suggestion events are created as information events, that is they have severity "Information", and with Source equal to "Suggestion Engine".
In order to allow the correlation rule to be triggered by information events (and hence suggestion events), it seems you will have to select the option "Accept information events".
An extra filter on the severity can help you to distinguish between suggestion events and alarms from the suggestion engine, I hope something like this (on top of your filter on the Suggestion Engine source) might work for you
Thanks Veerle! Accepting information events did the job, now we can turn suggestion events into alarms, thanks!
