Using Template Group to provide a superset of alarm configurations?

Hi,

I'm unsure if the alarm template groups can be used in this way, but I would like to create a structure like:

  • Template_Base
  • Template_Main
  • Template_Backup

Template_Base would include alarms common to main/backup devices. Template_Main would have alarms only for main devices, while Template_Backup would have different alarms only for backup devices.

For example, here is my Base, with two alarms:

Then in Main I would like to add 1 more alarm, but also 'inherit' the two from base:

It seems that I can only override alarm values/severities, but not inherit alarms in this way? The consolidated alarm template group only shows the Main alarms, not all 3:

Am I missing something? It doesn't seem very useful to use a Template Group if I need to define all alarms in all templates?

Hi Sheik,

Could you exclude the parameter 'Backup MMI Status' from the base template?

In addition, could you move the base template to the top of the list?

Hope it helps.

Ok, the consolidated alarms look better now, thank you. 🙂

So I must include/exclude the superset of alarms in the base template, then override the excluded ones in the overlay to get the correct set of alarms?
