Hi Dojo
The DataMiner Development Guide explains that we should use the $ prefix when defining default alarm values for exception values in a protocol: Alarming | DataMiner Docs. I'm wondering why we need that prefix. Would anyone know the technical background?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards
This is because it uses the same syntax as the alarm template configuration.
There you just pass on a value to monitor on. The dollar sign tells SLElement that this is an exception value and is treated slightly different than normal values.
Thank you for your answer Davy. It’s clear now. Much appreciated!
