Skyline Mode Configuration Manager

About

The Skyline Mode Configuration Manager is a generic DataMiner connector that provides a centralized way to manage and expose operational mode configuration. It allows users to view the current mode and last mode change, while maintaining a configurable set of mode-specific properties that can be reused across alarming, trending, and automation workflows.

This connector serves as a lightweight, shared configuration element for other applications, scripts, and dashboards within the DataMiner ecosystem.

Key Features

  • Centralized mode configuration: Maintain all mode-related settings in a single, dedicated element.

  • Read-only mode visibility: Exposes the current operational mode and the last mode change for consumption by other solutions.

  • Configurable mode properties: Define custom labels, alarm properties, and trend properties per mode.

  • UI-driven table management: Add, edit, and delete mode configurations directly from the DataMiner UI without scripting.

  • Generic and reusable design: Designed to be easily integrated into multiple solutions, dashboards, and automation workflows.

Use Cases

Challenge: Different applications and scripts require consistent alarming and trending behavior based on the current operational mode.

Solution: Use the Mode Configuration table to define mode-specific alarm and trend properties in one central location.

Benefit: Ensures consistent behavior across solutions while reducing duplicated configuration logic.

Mode-aware automation workflows

Challenge: Automation scripts need awareness of the current operational mode to make safe and context-aware decisions.

Solution: Consume the Current Mode and Mode Configuration data from the connector within automation scripts.

Benefit: Simplifies script logic and improves maintainability by externalizing mode configuration.

Operational visibility and dashboards

Challenge: Operators need clear visibility into the active mode and when it last changed.

Solution: Expose the connector parameters on dashboards or within custom applications.

Benefit: Improves operational awareness and traceability of mode changes.
