Hi - we have an issue that we are seeing lots of "properties changed" entries. We would like to update the alarm properties without having a "properties changed" alarm entry.
The alarms are from a table. I.e. we have a table where a column is the alarm severity - which is included in the alarm template.
I have been told we can use the doUpdateOnAlarmValueChange flag, but I don't know where/how this is used and can't find any mention of it in the documentation.
Could anyone point me at the documentation or explain how it works here - particularly when used with table entries.
Introduced in 9.5.12, a custom property on an element, service or view has a option called 'Update alarms on value changed'. This is by default checked, so set to true, but can be disabled. When disabled, a updated value for this specific custom property will no longer cause a new alarm.
The option is available when creating or updating the custom property
More information on this functionality can also be found on DataMiner Help. (item 5 of 'Adding a custom property to an item')
