Is there a way to show in the DMS that elements are changed to Paused or stopped.
On a production environment an operator changed the state of an element to paused. This caused SRM to fail on this element. Would it be possible to detect those changes and report them by any means ( popup, alarm, ... etc)?
Hi Thomas,
Apart from the workaround proposed by Wouter, in this case I believe it will be a good idea to review the permissions assigned to the operators. I believe that pausing/stopping elements should be done only by administrators or users that understand the consequences of these actions (in your case, a booking failing)
One idea could be to create an automation script which checks element states and triggers an action of choice when needed (e.g. as soon as any element is stopped or paused).
This script could then be scheduled to run periodically or as a correlation action when element state change information events occur.
Even though this doesn't resolve the problem you had in SRM, to increase visibility over the paused/stopped elements, you can quickly create a dashboard to have on a screen a list of all paused and stopped elements.
For this:
- Create a dashboard
- Create a query using 'Get Elements' data source
- Filter by 'State' to only show paused and stopped elements
- Create a table visualization for this query
Hi Thomas,
Another alternative is using Alerts: Configuring user notifications | DataMiner Docs
After all, 'Element state changes' generate 'information events' and that's the key to the solution here as probably you want to use those information events as 'trigger' to alert someone. Both 'Correlation' and 'Alerts' can use alarm filters as trigger to do something.
