Hello Dojo,

Some negative numbers are shown in the alarm counts session of the Alarm Console: what's the correct interpretation for these, please?

With reference to
1) When is a negative Timeout count expected in the alarm count at the bottom of the alarm console? Could it be the outcome of any alarm suppression / alarm correlations?

2) What it means to have a +1  or +2 Pending RTE?
What's the meaning of the "+-1" in this context?

Thanks

Hi Alberto,

In the alarmcounts for the alarmconsole you should never see a negative number. The negative number could indeed result from correlation or alarm suppression.

The "-1 pending" seems an issue as well at first sight. I would suggest to get in touch with your Skyline representative so we can investigate what goes wrong on your DMS.

Thanks for your feedback, Michaël
Will log a case on the collaboration portal.

But rather than for the specific RTE issue, my curiosity is also around the “+-1” pending message: … is it “zero” pending in the end? Or should it be just an integer number?

This is what is a bit unclear on our end

Hi Alberto,

It should be an integer number.

Thanks Michaël – I’ve added 190361 so that the assigned squad can further look into it.
