Remarks

In this attribute, specify

  • the column parameter ID that contains the DataMiner Agent ID and element ID, and
  • the alarm severity that needs to be retrieved
    • column parameter ID that contains the identifier (display/primary key in the table of the remote element that contains the alarm), or
    • -1 (general element alarm state).

In the following example, table 7100 contains a column (7105) with the DmaID/ElementID of the element. The -1 indicates that the general (most severe) state of the element is returned. The result is set in column parameter 7104:

<AlarmLevelLink id="1" remoteElement="7105:-1" destination="7104"/>

In order to aggregate the alarms into multiple linked tables, the relations need to be added. The foreign keys will be filled in automatically.

In the following example:

  • Table 100 contains a column 103 with the DmaID/ElementID
  • The remote elements have a table 96 with a readable description in column 106, this will be used as identifier.
  • The alarms state per row in table 96 will be set in the table containing column 154, the retrieved identifier will be set in column 152 of the same table.
  • A second table will contain the alarm levels per row in table 96 and per defined element in column 103. The primary keys will be entered in the columns that have a foreignKey option.
<AlarmLevelLink id="2" remoteElement="103:96:106" destination="154:PK_NOLINK:152"/>
<AlarmLevelLink id="3" remoteElement="103:96:106" destination="204:PK:152" />
