UIM - hub Alarm queues and alarm severities

Issue/Introduction

 

We have created an attach queue to forward alarm data from UIM primary HUB.

However, I would like to confirm if it is possible to stop forwarding of minor alarms through this queue. Only critical and major alarms are required to be forwarded.

Thanks

 

Environment

Release : 20.3

Component : UIM - HUB

Resolution

When you set up a queue, all messages with the same subject (for example alarm) are forwarded.

So this will happen indistinctively of the severity. 

You can't only forward certain severities. 

 

To obtain this you may need to create a custom solution. 

An example would be the following:

 

1. Create an AO Operator of Type Repost and define a customsubject. For example "severity_alarms" for only critical and major alarms. 

2. Then create an attach queue that subscribes to "severity_alarms"

 

Please be advised this is just a best effort suggestion and not a procedure we are going to develop with you as it would be out of scope of support.
