I am attempting to make a LowCode App that is a penalty box for specific services alarms. The issue I am running into is, with an alarm table, you can add the services as a filter, but we have not found a way to allow the acknowledgement of the alarms. If we use a regular table, you can add a query filter for alarms but we have not found a way to only show the services alarms we want which would then allow us to use an automation script for acknowledgement. Any insight would be appreciated!
Hi David,
Great use case! We tried this out and took the approach of an ad hoc data source in combination with some visuals in a Low-Code App.
Here's how the page is set up:
- Let the user chose a service.
- The table below that dropdown is listing all alarms for the selected service.
- A grid displaying all unacknowledged alarms.
- Inside this grid there is a button that lets the user take ownership of an alarm.
- After doing so, the table and list is refreshed.
A small demo:
So where is this data coming from?
Well we developed an ad hoc data source (see docs) that accepts a service name. This data source then requests all active alarms for that service from DataMiner. Additionally, we can filter on the owner in GQI as well.
I've made the source code for this ad hoc data source available on GitHub: https://github.com/SkylineCommunications/SLC-GQIDS-ServiceAlarms/blob/main/GQIDSServiceAlarms_1/GQIDSServiceAlarms_1.cs
Let me know if you have any questions on this!
Hi David – just wanted to check in and see if you managed to get what you were after with this input from Seba?
My apologies! I am just now getting back to this and did not see any email notification for this reply. This is amazing! I will definitely check this out. Thank you Seba!
How are you using a table with the dropdown menu? I am only able to get an alarm table to work.
Not exactly the same, but Seba also recently has put a generic service dashboard on the catalog. If your DataMiner System is cloud-connected, you can put it on your system via the DEPLOY option. Again, not exactly what you were looking for, but maybe of interest to learn from. https://community.dataminer.services/the-services-overview-dashboard/
Awesome Seba – you rock. Thanks for sharing that!
