Hi,
I have a View (in the Surveyor) without any element in it. However it has a Visio file with shapes that are linked to parameters in other elements. Because it has no element, it doesn't show any alarm color in the Surveyor.
If I put those other elements under the View, the Surveyor will show the color based on the alarm status of the elements, not of the specific parameters.
Is it possible to have the View to show the alarm color based on the shapes inside the Visio?
Thanks,
Trong.
The Visual Overview drawing itself cannot directly drive the coloring of a View, but if you first create a DataMiner Service which includes the same parameters you're showing on the Visual Overview drawing, and then place that Service inside of the View, it will take over the summary alarm color of those parameters.
By default elements will indeed be fully included in the service, but the wizard also allows you to define a subset of parameters.
If you want the color on the surveyor, then no, that's currently only possible by placing the elements in that view.
On the Visual Overview, of course, there are many possibilities to show the right alarm color, like the ParameterSummary.
Perhaps if you could elaborate on your use case and what you want to achieve with the behavior you describe, we can find other solutions for you.
Hi Trong, it is currently not possible to show the alarm status based on a visual overview in the surveyor, however there are a few possible workarounds:
- include the elements in the view : elements and services can be included in multiple views. So there is nothing stopping you from including the elements in e.g. both a view representing the physical or logical structure of your organization and the view with the visual overview.
- Use a correlation rule. You could add a basic element with one parameter in the view, and create a correlation rule that forwards the highest alarm of the elements used in the visual overview to this element.
Hi Ruben,
Thanks. I did try to create a Service, but I might have done it wrong because the Service I created shows the alarm status of the entire element rather than of just the parameters.
May be I will post a new question on focusing on the issue I had with creating the Service instead. Thank you.
