Get alarms

The Get alarms data source retrieves the alarms in the DataMiner System. Several columns, such as Element Name, Parameter Description, Value and Time, are included by default. Other columns, such as Alarm ID and Root Alarm ID, can be added with a Select operation.

The content of the Alarm ID and Root Alarm ID columns may differ depending on your DataMiner version:

Column	From DataMiner 10.4.11/10.5.0 onwards	Prior to DataMiner 10.4.11/10.5.0
Alarm ID	DMAID/EID/RootAlarmID/AlarmID, e.g. 537/45/2184182/2184188	HostingDMAID/AlarmID, e.g. 537/2184188
Root Alarm ID	DMAID/EID/RootAlarmID, e.g. 537/45/2184182	HostingDMAID/RootAlarmID, e.g. 537/2184182

Note

"DMAID" refers to the DataMiner ID of the DataMiner Agent where the element was originally created. "HostingDMAID" refers to the DataMiner ID of the DataMiner Agent currently hosting the element and managing its alarms. Most of the time, these two values will be the same, but they may differ, for example, when an element is exported from one Agent and imported onto another Agent. In this case, the element retains the original DMAID, but the HostingDMAID will reflect the new Agent's ID.
