IneoQuest iVMS

The IneoQuest iVMS shows all the current alarms from the different probes in the iVMS system and makes it possible to represent each probe separately in a DataMiner System.

It will send a SOAP command every minute to receive a list with available probes and their statuses in the iVMS system. For each new probe in that list, a Dynamic Virtual Element (DVE) will automatically be created for separate monitoring. The user can decide afterwards whether they want to keep the DVE or remove it.

The SNMP interface is used to receive L4 traps from the iVMS system and to back up the trap tables in case a trap was not received (e.g. because of network problems, the element that is not active, etc.).

Configuration

Connections

SNMP main connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 8001.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.

HTTP connection

This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP Port: The IP port of the destination.
  • Bus address: If the proxy server has to be bypassed, specify bypassproxy.

Usage

The IneoQuest iVMS connector can be used to create two types of DataMiner elements: a main element representing the main controller, and a dynamic virtual element for each probe.

For each probe in the iVMS system, a DVE is automatically created with a specific name (the main element name followed by a dot and then the name of the probe, for instance: iVMS SLC.mcp-DVAMDD).

General

This page contains two tables, as well as a number of parameters:

  • The API Path parameter allows you to configure where all commands will be sent.
  • The Probes Overview table displays an overview of the probes in the iVMS system and allows you to specify if a DVE will be created/deleted for a specific probe in the iVMS system.
  • The Heartbeat table shows the heartbeat of the iVMS system.
  • The Firmware Version parameter can be used to configure the URL when the firmware version is updated.
  • The Suffix Unavailable Probe parameter adds the suffix for the DVE elements that are in the "deleted" state
  • The Auto Delete Switch parameter allows you to configure the automatic deletion of DVEs.

Flows

This page displays information related to the flows defined by the iVMS. Two tables are displayed:

  • The Flow Status Table contains the status of all the flows defined in the iVMS for each probe.
  • The Flow Table Aggregation contains statistics for each flow defined in the iVMS.

Programs

This page displays information related to the programs defined by the iVMS. Two tables are displayed:

  • The Program Status Table contains the status of all the programs defined in the iVMS for each probe and flow.
  • The Program Table Aggregation contains statistics for each program defined in the iVMS. The IDX for the Program Table Aggregation can be changed using a drop-down box.

Alarm

This page contains a table for every type of alarm (System Alarm Table, Program Alarm Table, and Transport Alarm Table). You can delete one alarm entry from a table or delete all entries in the table.
