Script condition functions

Below, you find a list of functions you can use in a Correlation script condition.

These functions can also be used as placeholders, for instance in parameters used in Correlation rules. In that case they should be placed between brackets, e.g. [field(elementname)].

field

Retrieves one of the following fields from a base alarm.

Field Description
rawvalue Raw alarm value
value
dmaid DataMiner ID
eid Element ID
pid Parameter ID
idx Display key of table row
pk Primary key of table row
severity (as ID)
severityrange (as ID)
status (as ID)
type (as ID)
source (as ID)
elementrca
parameterrca
servicerca
rootkey Root alarm ID
id Alarm ID
userstatus (as ID)
owner
elementname
parametername
previous ID of previous alarm in tree
category
keypoint
componentinfo
hostingdmaid
viewname Name of the view containing the element that generated the alarm. If the element can be found in more than one view, then a random name is used.
elementkey The DmaID/ElementID (supported from DataMiner version 8.5.5 onwards)

property

Retrieves a property of a base alarm.

When used outside the min/max/avg aggregated functions context, the value will be retrieved from one of the alarms in the bucket only. This will typically be the triggering alarm or the most recent one in the rule bucket.

Syntax:

property([datatype].[property name])

[datatype] can have one of the following values:

  • view

  • element

  • service

  • alarm

Example:

property(view.location)

parameter

Retrieves a parameter value.

Examples:

Parameter(DMAID, elementID, parameterID)
parameter(7,59,350)

Parameter(DMAID, elementID, parameterID, rowindex)
parameter(7,56,110,SLDataMiner)

count

Returns the number of base alarms.

Example:

count(*)

min

Determines the minimum value among all alarm events in the rule bucket.

Example:

min(field(value))

max

Determines the maximum value among all alarm events in the rule bucket.

Example:

max(field(value))

avg

Determines the average value among all alarm events in the rule bucket.

Example:

avg(field(value))

round

Rounds the value to a certain amount of digits after the comma.

Example:

round(avg(field(value),3)
