New features

Dashboards app & Low-Code Apps: 'Lazy load components' setting [ID 35469] [ID 35486]

In the configuration settings of a dashboard or a page/panel of a low-code app, you can now find the Lazy load components setting.

When this setting is enabled, the components on the dashboard or the page/panel of the low-code app will only be initialized the first time they appear on the screen. This will considerably shorten the initial load time and enhance overall performance of large dashboards and large pages/panels of low-code apps.

Note
  • This setting, which is enabled by default for all new dashboards and all new pages/panels of low-code apps, is only available if you add the showAdvancedSettings=true option to the dashboard URL.
  • Even when this setting is enabled, components will not be lazy loaded in edit mode.

Monitoring app - Trending: Switching between trend graph and histogram [ID 35501]

When viewing a trend graph in the Monitoring app, you can now easily switch between trend graph and histogram by clicking either the trend graph or histogram icon in the top-right corner.

Monitoring app & Dashboards app - Line & area chart: Time range buttons [ID 35595]

A line & area chart component now has a number of time range buttons that allow you to quickly select one of the following preset time ranges:

  • 1d (last 24 hours)
  • 1w (last 7 days)
  • 1m (last 30 days)
  • 1y (last year)
  • 5y (last 5 years)
Note

In the Dashboards app, these time range buttons are disabled by default. When configuring the component, you can enable them by selecting the Show time range buttons option in the Component > Layout > Styling and Information tab.

Web apps: New action 'Open monitoring card' [ID 35661]

In a low-code app, you can now configure a new type of action: Open monitoring card. When triggered, this action will open the card of a specific element, service or view in the Monitoring app.

Note

When a low-code app is embedded in Cube (e.g. in a visual overview), an Open monitoring card action will open the specified card in Cube.

GQI - Ad hoc data source: Sending and receiving DMS messages [ID 35701]

Ad hoc data sources can now retrieve data by means of DMS messages.

To do so, the IGQIDataSource must implement the IGQIOnInit interface, of which the OnInit method can also be used to initialize a data source:

OnInitOutputArgs OnInit(OnInitInputArgs args)

When passed to the OnInit method, OnInitInputArgs can now contain the following new property:

GQIDMS DMS

The GQIDMS class contains the following methods, which can be used to request information in the form of DMSMessage objects:

Method Function
DMSMessage SendMessage(DMSMessage message) Sends a request that expects a single response.
DMSMessage[] SendMessages(params DMSMessage[] messages) Sends multiple requests at once, or sends a request that expects multiple responses.

The GQIDMS object is only generated when the property is used.

Generally, an ad hoc data source implementation will want to add a private field where it can store the GQIDMS object to be used later in other callbacks when columns and rows are created.

Important

DMS messages are subject to change without notice. If you can implement an alternative using the DataMiner UI or the automation options provided in DataMiner Automation, we highly recommend that you do so instead.

Changes

Enhancements

GQI - Parameter table: Timestamps will now be displayed using the time zone configured in ClientSettings.json [ID 35515]

GQI queries against the following data sources will now return all parameter values of type date/time in the timezone configured in the ClientSettings.json file.

  • Get parameters for element where
  • Get parameter table by alias
  • Get parameter table by ID

Up to now, these values were always displayed in UTC.

Tip

Dashboards app: Feeds listing parameters of EPM objects will now also list the parameters of the enhanced elements linked to those EPM objects [ID 35562]

When an EPM feed is used to feed EPM identifiers to a parameter feed, it will now also list the parameters of the enhanced elements that are linked to the EPM objects.

Dashboards app - GQI: Improvements to 'Get parameter relations' data source [ID 35589] [ID 35602]

When you retrieve the parameter relationships by means of the Get parameter relations data source, you will notice the following improvements:

  • In the Confidence column, the values are now displayed as percentages.
  • In the Generated by column, the value "CpSymmetric" has been renamed to "Behavioral AI model".

Also, when you filter by the Generated by column, you will no longer be able to select "All".

Note

This data source is only available when the ModelHost DxM is running.

GQI: Raw datetime values will now be converted to UTC [ID 35640]

Up to now, after each step in a GQI query, raw datetime values were always converted to the time zone that was specified in the query options. From now on, raw datetime values will be converted to UTC instead. The time zone specified in the query options will now only be used when converting a raw datetime value to a display value.

Important

BREAKING CHANGE: When, in an ad hoc data source or a query operation, a datetime value is not in UTC format, an exception will now be thrown.

Web Services API v1: Updated descriptions of GetAlarmHistory and GetAlarmDetails methods [ID 35651]

In the following interface files, the descriptions of the GetAlarmHistory and GetAlarmDetails methods have been updated:

http://DmaNameOrIpAddress/API/v1/soap.asmx
http://DmaNameOrIpAddress/API/v1/json.asmx

New description of the GetAlarmHistory method:

Get the alarm history for the specified alarm (optional full tree request). Use root alarm ID with requestFullTree for the details of a cleared non-root alarm.

New description of the GetAlarmDetails method:

Get the alarm details for the specified alarm (use GetAlarmHistory for the details of a cleared non-root alarm).

Monitoring app: Trending page of a parameter no longer has a sidebar [ID 35705]

In the Monitoring app, the Trending page of a parameter no longer has a sidebar.

GQI: Clearer error message when querying a logger table without RTDisplay=true settings [ID 35706]

A clearer error message will now be returned when you are building a query against a logger table without RTDisplay=true settings, neither on table level nor on column level.

Web apps: Enhanced feedback after a failed login attempt [ID 35724]

When a login attempt fails, a clearer error message will now appear.

Dashboards app & Low-Code Apps - Line & area chart component: Enhanced performance when exporting trend data to CSV [ID 35727]

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when exporting trend data to a CSV file.

Fixes

Web apps - Interactive Automation scripts: Component of type 'Time' would not be displayed as a time span picker [ID 35435]

In a web app, an interactive Automation script component of type Time with configuration options of type AutomationTimeUpDownOptions would incorrectly not be displayed as a time span picker.

Also, a number of enhancements have been made:

  • In web app environments, configuration options of type AutomationTimeUpDownOptions now have a new ShowTimeUnitsproperty. When this property is set to true, the component will display labels indicating the days, hours, minutes and seconds. Default setting: false

  • The hours, minutes and seconds of the time span component will get leading zeros after focus is lost.

  • In a web app environment, a calendar component will now always show the picker button (as in Cube).

  • When an interactive Automation script run in a web app environment contains executable components, a message will now be displayed, saying that executable components are not supported in web apps.

Dashboards app & Low-Code Apps - GQI: Problem with 'Update data' option when using the 'Get parameter table by ID' data source [ID 35490]

When a query using the Get parameter table by ID data source had the Update data option enabled, the component would incorrectly no longer automatically refresh the data when changes were detected.

Web apps - Interactive Automation scripts: Components in a row following a component with a row span greater than 1 would not be positioned correctly [ID 35504]

In an interactive Automation script executed in a web app, components positioned in a row following a row that contained a component with a row span greater than 1 would not be positioned correctly.

Note

If, in an interactive Automation script executed in a web app, a component is positioned on a cell that is overlapped by a component with a row span greater than 1, it will not be displayed.

Important

BREAKING CHANGE: If, in an interactive Automation script designed to be executed in a web app, the column property was altered to position a component at a specific spot, because of this fix, the component in question will no longer be displayed. It will be hidden by the component of which the row span is greater than 1. The component can be made visible again by changing the column property.

Dashboards app: Visualization picker would incorrectly resize when you hovered over it [ID 35516]

When you tried to select a visualization for a newly added component that did not yet have one, the visualization picker would incorrectly resize the first time you hovered over it.
