Changing the default alarm colors

In the DataMiner.xml file, you can specify the colors you want to assign to each of the alarm states:

  1. Open the file DataMiner.xml in a text file editor (e.g., Microsoft Notepad), from the folder C:\Skyline DataMiner\.

  2. In the Colors tag, modify the alarm colors.

    In the value attribute of each of the <Color> tags, you can specify a color as a set of RGB values.

  3. Save DataMiner.xml

  4. Restart DataMiner.

  5. Force a synchronization of the DataMiner.xml file throughout your DataMiner System:

    1. In DataMiner Cube, go to Apps > System Center.

    2. Go to the Tools tab and select synchronization.

    3. In the dropdown list next to Type, select File.

    4. In the File box, specify the following path: C:\Skyline DataMiner\DataMiner.xml.

    5. Click the Sync now button.

Note

The alarm colors have to be specified in the Colors tag of the DataMiner.xml file. If this tag is missing, it should be added. In that case, we recommend adding the tag you find in the example below. It contains all default colors.
